During the Hessian Theater Days, the lounge will be a colorful jumble of discussion rounds, critical archives, object revelations, happenings, readings, socializing, performances, installations, films, exhibitions, listening rooms, parties, chill-outs, surprises, ready-made collections and much more.
Here, high is mixed with low, art with kitsch, and true with fake. If there's a place for old and young, theater addicts and the disinterested, it's in the Lounge. And if you just want to drink a café, you're not in the wrong place either.

In addition, students from colleges of the Hessian Theater Academy (HfG/Offenbach, HfMDK and Städelschule/Frankfurt, Angewandte Theaterwissenschaft/Giessen) will present small works here and put them up for discussion.

Lounge - Plockstrasse 2 - June 25 to July 3, 2004
