Autoren[theater]tage 2020

It is a special theatre year, also for the Autorentheatertage, a year with less theatre, but with all the more authorship. We have used the forced break to reflect with our partner theatres and with the authors of this year's festival on the strange world into which we have suddenly found ourselves. The result is three world premieres and ten short plays, thirteen artistic glimpses of a special time. Seismographs need vibrations, texts need spaces in between. Theatre needs authors who make the changes we are facing readable, audible, visible and experiencable.

Three festival world premieres

Maria Ursprung, Schleifpunkt, Director: Marie Bues (in cooperation with the Schauspielhaus Graz)
Rosa von Praunheim, Hitler's goat and the king's haemorrhoids (Hitlers Ziege und die Hämorrhoiden des Königs), Director: Rosa von Praunheim (Deutsches Theater Berlin)
Dorian Brunz, beach house, Director: Philipp Preuss (in cooperation with Schauspiel Leipzig)

and ten new short pieces

Felicia Zeller, What has happened so far (Was bisher geschah)
Miroslava Svolikova, Fragments of the State (A Royal Tale) (Staatsfragmente (Ein Königsmärchen))
Nele Stuhler, Gaia saves the world (Gaia saves herself) (or also: (How everything has become like this) as it is) (or then also: as it was before. and as it was in between)
Kevin Rittberger, Blackout White Noise (If you are silent, the stones will scream)
Bonn Park, GUT (Album)
