TeaterKUNST
TeaterKUNST was founded in 2004 as artistic platform that pushes the established conventions around the theater by creating unconventional, site-specific projects that treat issues like, diversity, identity and the relationship between minority and majority in cooperation with a cultural and artistic diverse crowd of professional performers.
TeaterKUNST 2005 co-founded the transnational artistic research platform @work network with members from 8 different European countries working with theatres and artists from many different Cities around the globe and has been presented in Berlin, Vilnius, Stockholm, Helsinki, Athens, Durban, Mozambique, Lusaka, São Paulo, Montreal and many other places in the world.
TeaterKUNST creates theatre projects challenging the existing boundaries of the theatre by adopting and exploring spaces. We address contemporary dilemmas and question the role the audience play in theater and public spaces whit projects like on the youth productions “ Facebus” “What is Danish”? recently “DRINK ME”.
TeaterKUNST vision
To stimulate conscious decision making by exploring new reality perspectives through site-specific dialogue and theatre art.
• Breaking the conventional spaces and performances
• Nudging debate and dialogue about identity through a language accessible for everybody
• Facilitating meetings to increase comprehension and tolerance among humans
Oswald de Andrade’s Anthropophagic Manifesto (Manifesto Antropofágico), written in 1928, is a key text in Brazilian modernism. The manifesto presents anthropophagy (cannibalism) as a metaphor for cultural absorption and transformation, suggesting a dynamic process of cultural digestion, reinvention, and evolution rather than passive imitation of European culture.
Inspired by this concept, TeaterKUNST applies anthropophagy to theater by rethinking audience roles and performance spaces. Their approach creates an "anthropophagic theater experience," where site-specific performances "consume" urban environments and histories, blending different cultural narratives into immersive storytelling. This reflects the manifesto’s vision of a fluid, evolving identity rather than a fixed, exclusionary one.
TeaterKUNST has Since 2008, brought this method to the theater to ask questions about concepts of normality in our society and create interaction with the audience in a performative way.
