Theaterpreis des Bundes 2015

Forum Freies Theater

Jury statement

For 15 years, the Forum Freies Theater (FFT) in Düsseldorf has been creating a program that brings together the participation of the city’s inhabitants and experimental artistic positions in the performing arts. To this end, it is constantly inventing new formats with regional and international artists in which it successfully combines different disciplines of conceptual thinking with aesthetic actions. In this way, the FFT creates a sphere of city, art and theater on an equal footing, which strives not only to understand figures of thought as an artistic process, but also to convey their complexity and transpose them into the reality of life.” Jury statement
