Ballhaus Naunynstraße
Ballhaus Naunynstraße in Berlin-Kreuzberg stands for an artistic practice that has sustainably changed the German-speaking theater landscape: post-migrant theater. It was founded by Shermin Langhoff in 2008. Under the direction of Wagner Carvalho, black, queer and perspectives of color have taken center stage since 2013. Since then, the theater has acted as a catalyst for postcolonial discourse and decolonial practices in art and everyday life. In-house and international guest productions, theater, dance, performances, readings, discussion events, film series, concerts and interdisciplinary festivals make up the diverse program. As the only repertory theater of Berlin's independent scenes, it focuses on the sustainable visibility of actors of color, black protagonists and queer artists. In 2023, it was honored with the Federal Theater Prize for its exemplary work.
