Flinn Works (Berlin) works on themes of globalization with a focus on postcolonial and feminist issues. The performances and installations are based on intensive research and use the personal attitudes of the international participants for a multi-perspective dramaturgy. At the interface between ethnology and documentary formats, productions are created that develop their form as a consequence of the content and the talents of the team involved. Flinn Works has won three META Awards in New Delhi, the Förderpreis der Zürcher Kantonalbank, the Tabori Award of the Fonds Darstellende Künste and the Prize of the International Theater Institute Germany. The projects will be shown in Germany, Switzerland, India and Tanzania.
