Kammerbühne des Staatstheaters Cottbus / Chóśebuz

About the location

The Cottbus State Theatre is one of the most beautiful theatre buildings in Europe. The architectural sculpture on Schillerplatz, built in 1908 by the architect Bernhard Sehring in a very unconventional late secessionist style, gave impressive expression to the growing economic and political position of Cottbus's bourgeoisie at the time. The multifunctional chamber stage for drama, musical theatre and dance on Wernerstrasse, which is part of the State Theatre, is only a five-minute walk from the main theatre. Here, the »change of scene« becomes the programme: between classical and modern, between municipal theatre and independent scene, between old and young, between artistic appropriation of the world and direct social or political commitment.
