We mourn the loss of Rüdiger Koch
Rüdiger Koch (Papiertheater Invisius) died much too early on 16th September 2023 after a short, serious illness. Beforehand, he had to cancel his planned performance at the 36th Preetz Paper Theatre Meeting. With his passion, creativity, playfulness and kindness, he has supported the Preetz Paper Theatre Meeting since its foundation and helped to make it great. He has always been a friend, supporter and welcome guest. We - as well as the whole Paper Theatre family - will miss him and are with his family in mourning. Rüdiger was the centre of his family and leaves a big gap.
He himself did not wish flowers at his funeral service, but donations for the Papiertheater e.V. association (IBAN: DE24 5065 0023 0008 1925 36 Verwendungszweck: Rüdiger Koch) - another sign of his generosity and passion.
