Theaterfestival Spielart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Theaterfestival Spielart is an international theatre festival which takes place every two years during November and December in Munich, starting in 1995. The festival lasts between 15 and 17 days. Guests usually include over 20 international theater and performance groups.
The Spielart Theater Festival has existed since 1995 and continues the traditional theater festival from Thomas Petz in Munich (1979-1985). Spielart mainly consists of independent theater groups that maintain an experimental approach to the theater art form. The program of 1995 stated that Spielart wanted to promote new unconventional theater, which overrides all geographical and thematic restrictions.[citation needed]
The festival has been led by Tilmann Broszat since 1995. He designs the program together with Gottfried Hattinger.[1]
Structure
Sponsoring organization of the theatre festival is the 1979 founded Spielmotor München e.V. , a public-private partnership between BMW and the City of Munich.[2]
