Unlike other fringe theatre ensembles, which have a core of regular members, this group is more like a loose association of artists who come together in different constellations to put on theatre productions.
Three artists form the heart of the “Theater Handgemenge“: The actor and puppeteer Peter Müller is in charge of the theatre’s fortunes in organisational terms, and is based in Neubrandenburg. The puppeteer Pierre Schäfer lives and works in Berlin. We are graduates of the „Ernst Busch“ Theatre Academy in Berlin, where they specialised in actor und puppet theatre.
It was this discipline that brought us three puppeteers together, and “Handgemenge” emerged directly from the work of the Academy’s graduates. In the future we will co-operate further with renowned artists Europes and will try out new forms on the basis of traditional puppet theatre.
The Theater Handgemenge is a professional theatre, that touring many countries in the world.
