T-Werk

T-Werk sits in Potsdam's historic Schiffbauergasse, an international theatre centre set inside beautifully renovated former stables. Step inside and you find a theatre hall with stage and tribune, a rehearsal stage, a theatre café and a conference room. The hall seats up to 140 people, an intimate size that keeps every spectator near the stage.

The programme ranges from nonverbal movement theatre and mask and puppet theatre to scenic concerts and classical plays. Concerts, readings and workshops fill out the bill. Each year the international festival Unidram brings independent theatre makers from across Europe to the stage. The Schirrhofnächte add their own series of cultural evenings, and the venue joins citywide events such as Stadt für eine Nacht.

The centre works across generations, with projects, workshops and theatre groups for children, teenagers and adults alike. Wheelchair users are just as welcome here as any other visitor. Since 2004, artists have been making and showing their work in these rooms, with the Tiefen See just outside.
