Freischwimmer was a touring festival and co-produced platform for young artists whose work oscillates between the genres of theatre, performance, live art, visual arts, music, film and new media. The Freischwimmer-Netzwerk was founded in 2004 by the production houses FFT Düsseldorf, Kampnagel Hamburg, Theaterhaus Gessnerallee Zurich and Sophiensæle Berlin and featured nine editions until 2017.
