SPIELART Factory
|
|
SPIELART has not only proven it is a noteworthy forum for guest performances, it also - under the label of SPIELART Factory - provides impulses with its commissioned works, coproductions and the networking of artistic experiences.
|
|
In addition to cross-genre approaches, SPIELART is interested primarily in projects that explore the uniqueness of the theatre medium, and that develop new forms and theatre languages. SPIELART deliberately takes artistic risks in order to give new approaches in international theatre a chance, and also to establish international networks for Munich artists.
