Theater Handgemenge
(Theater Handgemenge)
freelance actor with diploma . puppeteer . director
The "Theater Handgemenge" works since 1990.
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. We are graduates of the „Ernst Busch“ Theatre Academy in Berlin, where they specialised in actor und puppet theatre. The Theater Handgemenge is a professional free lance theatre, that touring many countries in the world.
