The Ballhaus Naunynstraße is a place of exchange, lightheartedness, and artistic diversity. Here, a space is emerging for post-migrant and non-white perspectives, where new avenues are opened up and new forms of expression are explored. But what does it mean to create a place that ultimately aims to become superfluous?

In the fourth episode of the podcast, the hosts discuss the Ballhaus, its vision, and the ideas of the Academy of Self-Taught Artists. Find out how far the Ballhaus still is from becoming “superfluous,” what opportunities are emerging in this experimental space, and why the venue received the Federal Theater Prize in 2023.

“THAETER – Eine Spurensicherung” is the podcast for the Federal Theater Prize. On behalf of the Fonds Darstellende Künste, Laura Tontsch and Caspar Weimann present the award-winning theater institutions from 2023 and 2024.
