Theaterpreis des Bundes 2015

Stadttheater Bremerhaven

Jury statement

“The Stadttheater Bremerhaven has shown in an exemplary way how a theater far from the big theater metropolises can approach the city and its population and deal with the history, the current situation and the pressing problems of the place in which it is located. Through interdisciplinary productions and research projects, both in the theater itself and at exposed external venues, the theater confronts the specific situation of a highly indebted port city in the field of tension of unemployment, shipyard crisis and economic change.” Jury statement
