Autorentheatertage 2020 - Deadline and Jury
The Deutsche Theater Berlin is looking for new German-language theatre texts for next year's festival edition. Authors can send their plays until 14 September 2019 under the keyword Autorentheatertage 2020, provided that the texts have not yet been premiered and have not already been submitted in previous years. A theatre-independent jury of experts consisting of Dea Loher, Nina Hoss and David Tushingham will select three texts from all submitted plays, which will be premiered on 20 June 2020 as part of the Long Night of the Authors (Lange Nacht der Autor_innen) on the stages of the Deutsches Theater. The three award-winning authors will each receive a premiere lump sum of 10,000 euros. The Schauspielhaus Graz and Schauspiel Leipzig will be participating as partner theatres of the Autorentheatertage 2020.
Premiere 22.9., Box
The Giraffe's Neck (Der Hals der Giraffe)
based on the novel by Judith Schalansky

Director: Philipp Arnold
Kirill Serebrennikov free to travel
Good news: A new court ruling has lifted the house arrest against the Russian theatre maker Kirill Serebrennikov. Judge Irina Akkuratowa ruled on Wednesday 11 September in Moscow that his case would be returned to the Attorney General's Office due to contradictions. Now there are no restrictions on his freedom of movement anymore. In August 2019, a report commissioned by the court had already relieved Kirill Serebrennikov of the accusation that he had embezzled subsidies. His premiere of Decamerone after Giovanni Boccaccio at Deutsches Theater Berlin is scheduled for 8 March, 2020, with rehearsals scheduled to begin in January 2020.
Please note: In order to have a good view on both stage and surtitles we advise you to buy tickets in the rear rows of the stalls (from price group 3) or in the galleries. The staff at DT visitor's service is happy to help you. Call +49 30 28441-221.
