Touch&Play Cologne 2027 - inEssence

Touch&Play Cologne 2027 - inEssence

Innocent-ish, mischief-friendly, come as you are - touchandplay.org/cologne

inEssence is an invitation to peel off the layers glued to our faces by everyday life. 

Some we enjoy wearing (kind, smart, creative, well-behaved), some we'd happily throw away (liar, victim, boring, predator). But what if there’s a way to be with all of them?

A playground for the innocence underneath everything we carry

Bring your inner joker. We'll bring the container.

Limited time to buy Tickets 

When you click the Buy Tickets button you will be asked to fill out a form. You have 15 minutes to do so, after that time runs out and you have to start all over again. This is annoying, but we can't change the settings in Ticket Tailor.

To speed up the process, you can already read the documents below before clicking the Buy Ticket button. You will be asked if you read, have understood and agree with them. The links will also be shared in the Welcome Email. 

We want to clarify that we will not check if you read this. See it as the policy of an airline, Instagram, etc. We highly encourage you to take your responsibility and read them, especially if you are new to t&p becasue they give you information about how our events work. If you don't, just be aware that it is at your own risk ;)
