"Achtung Deutsch" with Steffen Laube nominated for the "Monica Bleibtreu Preis"

The Contra-Kreis-Theater from Bonn is nominated for the Monica Bleibtreu Preis as part of the Privattheatertage. VENUE: 23 JUNE 2014, 8.15 PM, KOMÖDIE WINTERHUDER FÄHRHAUS. "Private theatres are an important pillar of our theatrical landscape, not only because of their immense popularity; through their diversity, modernity and passion they also make an important contribution to society. With the PRIVATTHEATERTAGE and the MONICA BLEIBTREU PREIS, we want to honour the achievements of Germany's private theatres and bring them to a broad audience. For the theatre-makers themselves, the festival also offers the chance for artistic exchange and for strengthening their networks," says Axel Schneider of the Hamburger Kammerspiele. "Achtung Deutsch!" is about a multicultural flat-share of five students from five countries, who have settled into low-rent social housing. A madcap and entertaining take on the migration debate. The ensemble performs with verve and a relish for the punchline, so that this "band of chaos-makers" wins you over at once.
