markus&markustheaterkollektiv: Die Berufung

It is one thing to pick up on current discourse and to share and expound your wisdom on stage, but it’s another thing to put up resistance as activists on a grassroots level, in times of hate and fear. Markus&Markus tracked down activists, chronicled their actions on video and apprenticed with them. Their stories now find their way out of the world and into the theatre. With a super-charged media environment saturated with music, videos and disruptive props, Die Berufung takes a hopeful journey across the Republic.

Lara-Joy Bues, Katarina Eckold, Markus Schäfer and Markus Schmans have been working together as markus&markustheaterkollektiv since 2012. Their work is characterised by intensive research, the results of which — captured on video — form an elementary building block of their productions. They do not speak about a subject, but from within it. The people who are directly affected by the subject at hand are given a voice: their protagonists. Their work has been recognised with the George Tabori Award and the Best-Off Festival Prize of the Stiftung Niedersachsen.
