ABOUT FEDERSPIEL
Federspiel is an emerging theatre company rooted in collaborative writing, playfully transforming existing sources into sharp and pulsating shows.
Launched 2016 in Berlin, and influenced by its innovative scene, we are now expanding into the UK industry. Our shows are an invitation to adopt a new perspective: We are inspired by unheard voices and unequal structures, and approach text with elements of movement, music and devising.
Having started with free adaptations like Dorian Gray and Tristan, we are now engaging with deeper research, new writing and new artistic collaborators.
