Berlin, Germany
Schaubude Berlin is one of Germany's leading puppet and figure theatre venues, based in the Prenzlauer Berg district. Founded in 1991, it programs contemporary object theatre, puppetry and visual performance for adult audiences - a deliberate contrast to the children's-show image the art form often carries. The house also hosts festivals and artist residencies that draw companies from across Europe.
