Lichthof Theater

Jury statement

When it comes to the Lichthof Theater in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, the jury was impressed by the great courage with which this small theater provides a production and performance venue for both experimental forms of theater and the Hanseatic city’s up-and-coming artists. In doing so, the Lichthof enables a variety of theatrical formats in a wide range of genres, from drama to musical theater, dance to performance. It cooperates with influential institutions in the city and also in far-reaching supra-regional networks. It’s clear that theater artists find competent and cooperative contacts for their plans and projects here. Lichthof thus makes a distinctive and indispensable contribution to the theater scene in Hamburg and far beyond.” Jury statement
