Overview

The Theater der Keller was founded in 1954. After moving, it is now located in the Südstadt, near the Ulrepforte. This theatre values innovation and the avant-garde. The program comprises 'literary pieces with contemporary socio-political or philosophical worth', however the ensemble also offers adaptations of classics, such as Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream rewritten in a modern setting. A number of prizes and nominations awarded to Theatre der Keller in the last few years, confirm that it is well worth seeing a performance by this adventurous group.
