MK:

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.

Our playwrights

The Kammerspiele see themselves as a place of literary production, a place for thinking about language. They question the present with the means of drama. They are in constant dialogue with these authors.

Together with our authors, we are delighted to have received invitations to the Berlin Theatertreffen as well as nominations for the Mülheim Drama Prize and the Heidelberg Stückemarkt!
