The Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz is one of the most internationally acclaimed theatres in the German-speaking world, renowned for intellectually rigorous, visually stunning productions that tour to festivals and stages worldwide. Under the artistic direction of Thomas Ostermeier since 1999, the Schaubühne has become synonymous with a bold, physically dynamic approach to both classical texts and new writing. Housed in a converted 1920s cinema on the Kurfürstendamm, the theatre's flexible staging possibilities enable radical reconfigurations of the audience-performer relationship. The Schaubühne represents the vanguard of European directors' theatre.
