The Schaudepot – A…or…NO…farewell tour
The Schaudepot – A…or…NO…farewell tour: Together with guests, Melanie Mohren and Bernhard Herbordt walk from the Theater Rampe to the Schaudepot. This is the place that – by the way – has also become an archive of the collaboration between Herbordt/Mohren and Theater Rampe over the past ten years.
‘Stadtraum-Theater in der alten Fliesenlegerwerkstatt.’ by Elisabeth Maier, Theater der Zeit, 4/2023. Since 2021, Herbordt and Mohren, the two pioneers of the performing arts, have been operating their Schaudepot in the former workshop of an Altenbergweg tiler, in the midst of many rental apartments down in Stuttgart Kessel. Regarding the concept, Herbordt remarks:⁠ “Our basic idea is to bring theatre into the residential area.” During lunch break or after work, people stop by and watch videos of the productions that the Herbordt/Mohren collective has been creating since 2012. For their socio-political performative projects, the two were awarded the "Der Faust" German Theatre Prize in the genre-busting category in 2022. This “great encouragement” has only emboldened them to do more. The Book of Fire (Livro de Fogo) by Jorge Alencar und Neto Machado
The Book of Fire (Livro de Fogo) by Jorge Alencar und Neto Machado: ‘Livro de Fogo’ is a book-game that proposes to open a board and share stories that nurture us: stories that we remember, that we know, that we hear, that we invent, that we dream, that we miss. A book rooted in paper and continually written orally, in exchange, in the body.

Kodak von Jorge Alencar and Neto Machado
Kodak von Jorge Alencar and Neto Machado: ,Kodak‘ is a performance for kids in which 100 colorful archive boxes build a world of giant legos or a Mindcraft universe, in continuous construction. They turn into buildings, labyrinths, theater sets and whatever else is needed. From within them, more and more surprises emerge that multiply the possibilities of thought, perception and movement.
‘Theater aus dem Schaudepot. Performance-Perlen archiviert’ by Dietrich Heissenbüttel, CONTEXT Wochenzeitung 614 of 4.1.23 (in German). “The Schaudepot for the Performing Arts is a unique place where the audience can explore theatre in a very special way.
