Theater im Bahnhof (A)

The Graz-based Theater im Bahnhof is Austria’s largest professional free theatre company. According to its own definition, TiB/Graz sees itself as a contemporary popular theatre and has from the outset focused on Austrian identity between tradition and pop. Some eighteen artists are continuously working on the formulation of an individual, contemporary concept of theatre. The scrutiny of their own production methods must also be seen in the context of the general discussion in the German-speaking world: Where is theatre going internationally? What do other theatre-makers think about? What manifestations arise from this and how do their own qualities come about? What routines need to be breached? Theater im Bahnhof is a frequent guest at steirischer herbst, most recently in 2007 with “Zwischen Knochen und Raketen”, a co-production with art&shock (KAZ), and “Tod eines Bankomatkartenbesitzers” at Graz’s Citypark shopping centre at the 2010 festival.
