Theaterpreis des Bundes 2021
LOT Theater
Jury statement
“The LOT Theater Braunschweig sees itself as a guest performance and (co)productions venue for the independent scene and up-and-coming theater talents of Lower Saxony, and works long-term with important groups, artists and newcomers in the state. The artistic program ranges from children’s and youth theater to dance and performance. A committed artistic program that deals with issues of social cohesion (‘participation, inclusion and accessibility are not empty words, but constant companions’), exciting exchange programs with local institutions and social organizations in the city, diverse networking, unusual and lovingly developed digital formats and the tireless cultural-political advocacy for the independent scene in Lower Saxony make the LOT Braunschweig stand out as a highly promising and reliable venue and as a driver of the independent scene, even in supra-regional comparison.” – Jury statement
