Flinntheater

The Flinntheater was founded in 1992. The core team of Sophia and Lisa Stepf has been creating productions with various musicians, actors and performers in small, professional teams since 2007. The pieces are transcultural, offering multiples perspectives and reflecting the tension between the longing for a sense of home and the globalised working world. This has resulted in a form of musical performance theatre makes use of (live) music, culture clash, humour and quick cuts to interrogate the current state of the world in a digital aesthetic.

Some of their works include “India Simulator™” (2009), a futuristic assessment centre with texts commissioned from Indian writers, which received the audience award at the Hessische Theatertage in 2011; “Das A-Casting” (2011 in co-production with Hebbel am Ufer Berlin) with texts commissioned from Indian writers for actors who in Germany are designated as migrants; a small small world (2011), a piece of documentary theatre about the refugee Hamidur R., which was produced in India and Bangladesh and was invited to the Zeitgeist Festival in Washington and the Odyssee: Heimat Festival in Bremerhaven; “The Power Play” (2012), a meditation on energy and electricity, a co-production with the Lagos_Live Festival; C sharp C blunt (2013), a solo, produced in India, about the schizophrenic professional lives of Indian women who performer in the entertainment industry, the second part of which, “Shilpa- The Indian Singer App” (2013) played in Berlin and Kassel; and finally Krishna's Elite (2013), in which the Flinntheater examines the intellectual world of future world leaders from India in a semi-documentary format.
