Theaterpreis des Bundes 2015

FUNDUS Theater

Jury statement

“The FUNDUS Theater in Hamburg’s Wandsbek district is a unique children’s theater in Germany that sees itself as a place for social experimentation and turns children into explorers of the reality that surrounds them. Successful drama projects such as the class swap, the children’s bench and the hair salon allow children from a wide range of backgrounds to experience the world by swapping roles. Empathy and curiosity thus become the most important tools for playfully shaping the future. With the FUNDUS Theater, the jury would like to honor a particularly courageous and alert children’s theater that successfully goes its own way beyond the tried and tested forms.” Jury statement
