Neue Zeit, neue Dramatik
The MK continuously test different models for involving authors in their production processes. How can the theatre become a place where contemporary literature is created and the texts become a means of not leaving reality alone? In doing so, MK focus on interdisciplinary, long-term collaborations and repeatedly pose the question of forms of collective work.

The main prize, awarded by the Edith and Werner Rieder Foundation, will be endowed with 20,000 euros.

The Festival 2023
30.6. – 3.7.2023
With the festival “Neue Zeit, neue Dramatik 2023” the Münchner Kammerspiele presented an international young generation of playwrights to their audience. Four authors and a collective of authors were guests in a residency that culminated in a Long Night of New Drama on July 1, 2023 and the awarding of the Munich Prize for New Drama to Matthias van den Höfel for his play “Drinnen”. We congratulate him very warmly! We would also like to congratulate the author Paula Kläy for the Audience Award for her play “Oberland”.
As part of the festival “Neue Zeit, neue Dramatik” (New Time, New Drama), we also presented texts in readings and installations by authors who have a close connection with the Münchner Kammerspiele through their previous works. At Werkaum we showed “Opera - A Future Game,” a post(operatic)-apocalyptic video game essay by Michael von zur Mühlen with music by Ole Hübner and texts by Thomas Köck. Habibi Kiosk featured the new text by Allex. (Liat) Fassberg (Förderpreis 2021) “My naked existence” could be seen and heard.
With readings, performances, an installation and the award ceremony of the “Münchner Förderpreis für Dramatik” endowed with 10,000 euros, this weekend was all about the Theater der Stadt München as a production site for contemporary literature and its publication.
Der mit insgesamt 10.000 Euro dotierte Münchner Förderpreis für neue Dramatik wird gemeinsam vom Kulturreferat der Landeshauptstadt München, dem Drei Masken Verlag und den Münchner Kammerspielen vergeben. Das Preisgeld wird gestiftet von Edith und Rieder Stiftung.
