Return trip to Theater an der Parkaue
Amidst the whirl of theater productions during the festival and international exchanges during ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering, Berlin Diagonale invites curators, dramaturgs and visiting professionals from around the world to a bundled format, offering the opportunity to get know a variety of different artists and groups "made in Berlin".
The diverse cross-section of Berlin's theater for young audiences includes the following groups and is hosted at Ballhaus Ost, home base to Die Helmis, the well-known puppeteers:
artisanen – CIE Molisetti (Laurence Barbasetti) – das Weite Theater – Die Helmis – florschutz & döhnert – Julia Brettschneider & Matthias Bernhold – Kabaré Púpala (Thomas Herfort) – Martina Couturier – Theater o.N. – Theater Strahl – Platypus Theater – PuppenPool – Birgit Wieger "body.text.ure" – Zuckerbrot&Pfeffer Theater
The artist groups will present their productions and provide insight into future projects over the course of table conversations. Nowhere Kitchen will offer culinary treats to underscore these artistic exchanges.
Berlin Diagonale was present at the 2013 Augenblick Mal! festival and provided insight into the diversity of the approximately 80 professional independent artists, groups and performance venues in Berlin that primarily produce work for young audiences as well as at the IKARUS Prize awards ceremony for outstanding children's and youth theater productions in October 2014.
From the community for the community: as a platform for the independent performing arts, Berlin Diagonale relies upon networking and presentation. Curators, dramaturgs and visiting professionals are invited to discover, see and distribute work produced by the independent performing arts community in Berlin over the course of table conversations and during guided tours. Berlin Diagonale creates national and international awareness of Berlin dance, theater and performance productions, creates touring opportunities and thus supports the sustainable networking of Berlin‘s independent performing arts community worldwide.
Participation is free of charge, please register at info@berlin-diagonale.de.
