Comoedia Mundi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zelttheater Comoedia Mundi eV is a German touring theater .

Comoedia Mundi in Frankfurt am Main

The concept

In summer the theater plays in a tent in different cities. In winter the productions are performed in permanent houses, theaters, cultural halls. The existing framework of the theater and café car is also used for guest performances, children's theater performances and music programs.

The ensemble

The theater was founded in 1983 with the need to realize oneself as an actor in concrete productions.

It has since grown into an international ensemble with changing members from the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Italy and Germany. The members have a professional education and work experience, often not only in the acting, but also in the musical field. The group looks for its topic, which is staged very personally through intensive research and improvisation work .

Since 1993 , more solo and duo productions have been developed, with which individual members tour in the winter half-year. At the same time, these pieces will be performed on the tent tour. The actors draw on external specialists for their productions and in the equipment and technical area for the productions.

The non-profit sponsoring association has been renting rooms in Trautskirchen Castle near the city of Nuremberg since 1988 . This is where rehearsals take place, equipment is installed in our own workshops and the vehicle fleet is maintained.

technology

It is the only touring theater in Bavaria with its own mobile venue. Nationwide there are at most a handful of conceptually comparable theaters. The theater has a tent with up to 200 seats, 35 m² stage area, its own lighting system with 50 kW , fleet of 11 Gypsy wagon, three trucks - tractors . In addition to packing and café trolleys, this is the mobile living space for nine to ten members on tour. Affiliated is a unique touring restaurant in the Senza Licenza café car, which is also the location for music events and readings.
