24 – 29 August, 2024 – WHILE YOU WERE PARTYING

A heady mix of vulnerable positions and hammer blows, a fresh and funny, uncompromising theatrical world that digs deep into the ugly side of us to reveal the humanity behind it.

27 – 29 August, 2024 – OPEN MIC NIGHT

A eulogy to an imaginary DIY hangout where crossing boundaries is the norm and no one cleans the toilets. With cheap beer!

VACA (Cow) by Guillermo Calderón
Directed by: Guillermo Calderón

Guillermo Calderón is one of Chile’s most prominent playwrights. In his play VACA (“Cow”), three realities collide: a half-broken theater stage with a socially irrelevant program, a cheaply equipped TV-studio with radicalizing talk shows and a workshop of bicycle suppliers struggling for their own existence. And the whole thing revolves around a sick cow that suddenly gives too much milk!

The world premiere will take place on August 25 at 4 p.m. as part of the Kunstfest Weimar.
On August 26, following the performance (8 p.m.), Thomas Oberender, Chairman of the Goethe Medal Commission, will talk to Guillermo Calderón and Carmen Romero Quero, “Teatro a Mil” Foundation.
