Welcome to the Tischlerei!
“Encounters“ is not just the title of one of the areas of focus in the Tischlerei this season. Encounters also form a prominent part of our entire programme. In a former lifetime the Tischlerei was the workshop of the Deutsche Oper Berlin; now it is a space for experimental performances and installations, world premieres and works in progress. We embrace crossover, blend pop, rock, fine art, avant-garde and opera and explore themes centring on ‘the stranger’ and otherness in general. This regularly involves contacts between cultures leading to the generation of new forms of musical theatre. You are cordially invited to witness all these encounters close at hand.
Let us surprise you, Dorothea Hartmann, Art Director, Tischlerei

Ambushed from Behind: Power of the Arts
Is it the great roar of the abyss that engulfs the world in the apocalypse? Is it the wings of the angels of vengeance - or of redemption - or is it the swelling data stream of modernity with its texts, sounds and images that threatens to sweep away everything in Rued Langgaard's ANTIKRIST? ... Marion Wörle and Maciej Sledziecki of the duo gamut inc take on Rued Langaard's opera and lure this eccentric work into an ambush.

C‘mon, let’s go

The neverending story
The paradoxical thing about childhood is that it survives well into adulthood. This is why grown-ups relate emotionally to their own childhood and to different degrees – perhaps to a stronger degree if they are closely involved with children in their capacity as parent, grandparent or teacher. Childhood is wedged in our adult lives like the tiny splinter wedged in Kay’s heart in the SNOW QUEEN fairy tale.

Burnings at the Stake
Three world premieres were dedicated to women who experience their "funeral pyre" in one way or another: As lesbian lovers, in a radical no to male body images or through Satanism and patricide ... These were the NEW SCENES V.
Production impressions
Passers-by
DIE VORÜBERLAUFENDEN touches on the question of where civil courage begins - beyond the fluffy cloak of my comfort. Composer Andrej Koroliov and director Theresa von Halle create a musically dense chamber play based on a text by Gerhild Steinbuch after Franz Kafka's prose play of the same name.
