About the venue: Volksbühne

The Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz is a landmark theatre in the heart of Berlin, originally built in 1914 and reconstructed after World War II. Known for its bold, politically engaged productions, it became internationally renowned under director Frank Castorf (1992–2017). The venue hosts theatre, performance art, and interdisciplinary events, and its iconic façade with the motto "Die Kunst dem Volke" ("Art for the People") remains a symbol of Berlin's cultural identity.
