DRAMA! - Reflection space for young theater makers

The content on this page was translated automatically.

After two years of successful DRAMA! work - despite the pandemic - the festival will enter its third round in 2022.

In the post-corona era, theaters in German-speaking countries are not only confronted with a considerable decline in audiences, but also with increasingly urgent questions about the relevance of their art in a social context. The detached, cryptic concepts of directing specialists are being rejected and work with texts and actors is - once again - coming to the fore.

This is where DRAMA! comes in: a project that extends over two semesters, brings young playwrights, directors, actors and dramaturges into a joint working process at an early stage, presupposes and promotes discussion. Scenic writing students from the UdK in Berlin discuss their drafts with directing and dramaturgy students from the Hamburg Theater Academy, while acting students from HMTM Hannover are involved in a reading workshop and the production process. Future theater makers are trained in collective, responsible and specialized theater work. Two weeks of intensive rehearsals then lead to public presentations on October 20, 21 and 23.

October 20, Scenic Facilities 1-3, starting at 7 p.m.
