    Helmut Wenderoth has been the artistic director of KRESCHtheater (the young people’s theatre centre in the town of Krefeld) since 2005 and has had close links with it since 1991. He writes, acts in and directs plays in the KRESCHtheater and for fringe groups. Apart from that his work concentrates on theatre-in-education projects.

    “Good theatre manages to poeticise politics and politicise poetry. By politics I mean the art of getting involved in public life with the aim of improving living conditions for as many people as possible. By poetry I mean the art of describing living reality in a way which points beyond that reality. Theatre for young people should always ask how far it gives a voice to people, things and circumstances which otherwise would never be articulated.” (Helmut Wenderoth)
