The Berlin Festival for Contemporary Music Theatre BAM! asks in its current edition: Where do we go from here? How does the independent scene respond to rapid societal and global changes – and what forms does it find to do so? With Poland as the guest country, the focus is on a nation whose theatre has provided decisive impulses for the international avant-garde up to the present day. This time, NO serves as the festival center and presents several productions and discussions.
On 20 November, the festival celebrates its opening at NO with the concert Ep for a Deaf Poet and Double Bass. Afterwards, Ludmilla Mercier and Jakob Böttcher will present the world premiere of their piece LAVOMATIK. The two productions INNER MONOLOGUE and MISSPIECE highlight performance in a double evening on 21 November. In the panel YOUNG MUSIC THEATRE FROM POLAND featuring several theatre makers, current trends and their relationship to Polish theatre tradition will be discussed on 22 November. Afterwards, a conversation will examine the festival’s guiding question: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
