Te oczy Hotentota!
Those Hotentot Eyes!

Summary/Abstract: Friederike Felbeck notes that this year’s Theatertreffen in Berlin (6-23 May 2011) reflected the German theater’s sharp divide into two clear camps: the subsidized state and city theaters and the aesthetically different independent scene. This year’s extraordinarily diverse program included costly co-productions like Christoph Schlingensief Via Intolleranza II, the performance art projects of the She She Pop group, and performances like Mad Blood, produced in the Ballhaus Naunynstrasse center in Kreuzberg. Felbeck observes that an important theme in this year’s festival was the changing political, economical, and demographic situation of the increasingly ethnically diversified modern-day Germany.
