Mousonturm
Mousonturm is a theatre in Frankfurt am Main, housed in a protected tower from a former soap and perfume factory.
Its clinker brickwork carries zigzag and triangular ornaments.
Architects Gärtner and Wollmann designed the expressionist tower as part of factory buildings erected in the 1920s.
The tower is recognized as Frankfurt’s first high-rise.
The venue provides space for independent projects across theatre, contemporary dance, choreography, music, film, and visual art.
Its programme welcomes artists from beyond German-speaking regions.
Mousonturm also houses the Hessian Literature Forum and Tanzplattform Rhein-Main, linking performance with literary and dance practices.
Kidd Pivot Frankfurt RM works there.
The venue hosts an International Summer Academy that serves as a forum for European performance art and innovative theatrical forms.
Its former industrial structure gives Frankfurt a distinctive setting for contemporary culture.
