Does that sound familiar, you thinking about ten different things all at the same time? When your teacher is in a bad mood and you wonder why? When you cannot sleep because your best friend has not invited you to their birthday?

Chaos everywhere. Outside, on stage, in the head. What is beautiful about it, and what could we do without? Two chaotic slobs attempt to stage a play, and we watch them fail again and again. They dance, they sing, narrate, and at the end, something new, something beautiful, something hopeful emerges from all this mess.

theaterkohlenpott Herne has been a theatre for a young audience since the 2006/2007 season. It conducts interdisciplinary work with musicians, authors, choreographers, and dancers, as well as with visual artists who constantly recombine in different projects and projects. Their focus lies on the development of new pieces, also in the field of new musical theatre and in cooperation with New Circus and urban arts. Many of their productions won numerous awards and have regularly been invited to festivals.
The development and realisation of artistic-participatory projects for and with young people is an important part of their work. Apart from play clubs for young people from the age of 10 onward, theaterkohlenpott supports young artists and performers and enables them to conduct research, to try out and rehearse under professional conditions, and it accompanies them on their path to professionalisation.
The theatre team works and rehearses at “Ort der Kulturen” (“Site of Cultures”) in the middle of Herne. Its venues are Flottmann-Hallen Herne as well as guest performance sites throughout Germany. It receives institutional funding from the State of North Rhine-Westphalia as well as from the City of Herne.
