Theater der Dinge 2021
The world without us
Programme Overview (PDF)
With a rich programme hosted at several venues and online, the international "Theater der Dinge" festival is back!
Artists, scholars and contributors from Belgium, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Estonia, France, Catalonia, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, the USA and Germany will come together at several Berlin venues, and in the digital realm, to showcase their diverse works on the theme "The world without us".*
Against the context of the world’s collective experiences of a pandemic, the artistic viewpoints in this year's festival edition look at the end of the Anthropocene and develop ideas on how the role of man in the world can be repositioned. On the one hand, the focus is on ecological issues and the footprint that humans leave on the world, while on the other hand there is a focus on the experience of emptiness and a desire for new networking strategies.
The concept and programme for the festival are moulded by reactions to the pandemic. This year, the stage programme has been deliberately kept smaller, so there will be more intimate performances and installations, digital stagings and a film programme, as well as an extensive contextual programme that will largely take place online, all of which will invite visitors to engage with the work.
Depending on the situation regarding the pandemic at the time, the programme may need to be changed. Please make sure you find out about which protection and hygiene regulations are currently in force before attending the performance.
Accessibility
Detailed information on the accessibility of the venues can be found here. For information on the accessibility of the various individual events, please check the information on the respective productions.

Schaubude blog
Essays, interviews, images and reflections on the festival will be published on our blog www.theaterderdinge.com.
*This year's festival theme is inspired by "Die Welt ohne uns – Botanisches Langzeittheaterprojekt" by Aljoscha Begrich and Tobias Rausch, Schauspiel Hannover 2010-2014.
