Dialogue and confrontation, transformation and strengthening - theater work beyond the metropolitan cities

Touring exhibition about the Federal Theatre Prize

A touring exhibition in the wake of the 2021 Federal Theatre Prize.

Theatres outside the major cultural metropolitan cities do special work: they often form the core of their cities or districts not only spatially but also culturally, they are meeting places and discussion spaces, they build bridges and create new perspectives, and at the same time they are confronted with challenges all their own. Since 2015, the Federal Theatre Prize has been designed to give these theatres and their work the attention they deserve. In four rounds of competition, 42 theatres have been honored so far.

The German Centre of the International Theatre Institute dedicated a touring exhibition to the importance of theatre work beyond the metropolitan cities. In addition to insights into the work of the theatres that have been awarded the Federal Theatre Prize so far, various formats and artistic contributions were used to show and enable visitors to experience how theatre work is shaped under different local conditions and structures, how artists can engage in dialogue with various urban and rural communities and what kind of place the "stage" can be. After the opening on 4th of April at the Salzlandtheater, Staßfurt, the exhibition invited visitors to view it from April to July 2022 in the foyers of nine of the most recently awarded eleven theatres in the form of a pop-up box format. In addition to a digital Federal Theatre Prize archive, various artistic works by Larissa Jenne, Anja Riese, Micha Kranixfeld and the independent collective theatrale subversion were on display.
