The new postgraduate project, funded by the Claussen Simon Foundation, gives HfMT directing graduates the opportunity to work on a professional production at the Junges SchauSpielHaus. The aim is to pursue a research-based approach in order to develop and test innovative forms of theater for a young audience. Director Dominique Enz was selected for the pilot project. Her play Out there deals with the social relationships of young people in the age of the internet and social media, combining experimental narrative styles with concrete scenic fantasies. The last performances can be seen on June 8, 9 and 11 at Studio Wiesendamm.
