Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz

In the location's words:

The Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz, housed in a striking former cinema building by Erich Mendelssohn on Kurfürstendamm, is the largest spoken theater in West Berlin. The politically and socially committed repertoire is characterized by a variety of directorial styles, including new forms of dance and music theater. In addition to Berlin directors such as Thomas Ostermeier, Herbert Fritsch, Falk Richter, Marius von Mayenburg and Patrick Wengenroth, internationally sought-after artists such as Dead Centre, Romeo Castellucci, Angélica Liddell and Katie Mitchell regularly stage productions at the Schaubühne. The productions focus on storytelling - both classical and contemporary - and the ensemble, which also includes film stars such as Nina Hoss, Lars Eidinger, Jörg Hartmann and Mark Waschke. The Schaubühne is one of Germany's best-known theaters in the world, and its productions tour the globe with over a hundred performances every year. In Berlin, up to three productions from the extensive repertoire can be seen every day, regularly with English and French surtitles.
