Theaters

Theaters are ideal venues for portraying lived realities in an artistic manner. They provide space for reflecting the multifaceted identities of pluralist societies. Post-migrant theater, in particular, has set itself the task of tracing the diverse realities of life in German society through artistic and dramaturgical means. Themes associated with migration, exclusion, racism and forms of resistance are increasingly being taken up by directors and staged in multifaceted ways.
