Theaterpreis des Bundes 2015

Das letzte Kleinod

Jury statement

Das letzte Kleinod is an outstanding example of contemporary theater work in the rural region between Bremerhaven and Buxtehude. The group is based at the Gestenseeth station, from where it sets off on expeditions with the audience throughout the region in its own theater train, the “Ocean Blue Train,” with up to 10 carriages. Their plays deal with the themes of the cultural landscape on the North Sea coast: work, flight, migration, colonialism, research, piracy and war. Based on this regional positioning, the group has developed new, contemporary formats that focus on the highly topical subject of flight and expulsion, which it also implements in international collaborations. Productions for children and young people also form an important part of the program.” Jury statement
