The theater workshop Pilkentafel (short Pilkentafel ) is the "only independent theater on a professional level" in Flensburg and a free eight theaters in Schleswig-Holstein , which the Ministry of Justice, Culture and Europe will be promoted. The Theaterwerkstatt Pilkentafel gGmbH is a member of the Landeskulturverband Schleswig-Holstein and the Association Internationale du Théâtre de l'Enfance et la Jeunesse (ASSITEJ). Her ensemble shows pieces with contemporary performing arts both in Flensburg and at "renowned festivals on different continents" and has already made guest appearances on behalf of the Goethe Institute . The name of the theater, founded in 1983, is derived from the street of the same name Pilkentafel , where theater performances and workshops are given in a listed building from 1771 - a permanent venue since 1998. It is one of the registered cultural monuments of Flensburg-Jürgensby and is embedded there in the Kapitänsviertel , the "historic Flensburg seamen's quarter".

building

The operation of an inn from 1612 is documented for the property on Pilkentafel 2 . In 1771 the builder Niels Ellefsen had today's house built there - he called it the Ellefsburg - a "two-storey, brick eaves house". Decorative anchors with his initials "NE" on the free-standing gable front are reminiscent of him. Above the entrance, a sandstone plaque contains the inscription:

"ELLEFSBURG / am I called / God hold on to me / His grace hand / Give our God the honor / 1771"

While the windows and the front door have been reconstructed, the interior layout has been partially preserved. The doors in the house there date from the time it was built; a ceiling painting has meanwhile been painted over. In 1998 the owners converted an old locksmith's workshop into a theater, hence the name "Theaterwerkstatt". They raised the ceiling to accommodate headlights and technology. Props, tools and cleaning accessories have their place on the ground floor of the residential building, where the offices are also and fellow actors or guest directors can find accommodation in a small apartment.

History of the theater

Development of programming

After buying the historic house at Pilkentafel Nr. 2 in 1981, theater scholar and pedagogue Elisabeth Bohde (* 1957 in Flensburg) founded the workshop for theater, play and body language to offer workshops and theater courses. The premiere of the play "We will passionately love ourselves" in 1983 was then considered to be the beginning of the Pilkentafel theater workshop , which performed the production, which was discussed nationwide, 80 times over a year. In 1985 the theater received financial support from the city of Flensburg for the first time for the play “Passion as a Possibility” . In the same year , Torsten Schütte (* 1961 in Bremen), who had moved from Bremen , became involved and later helped his future wife Bohde to run the theater.

In the early years, the program often contained pieces on feminist topics, but changed over the years. " Documentary and political theater , spoken pieces , theater without text, work both in the house and in public space took its place." A children's play was the first attempt at making theater for children in 1987 , which was continued with the laundry day . The piece Waschtag , which won an award at the Traumspiele in 1994, was, according to the company, one of the "most successful and momentous pieces of the Pilkentafel" and "one of the most played children's pieces in Germany."

Flensburg as a venue

With the conversion of the locksmith's workshop into a separate venue in 1998, stage work with adults came more and more to the fore. The theater makers achieved another of their greatest successes with the stage play Westliche Höhe (premiered on February 21, 2008), which was staged 50 times and named after the Westliche Höhe district , where a number of Nazi greats went underground after 1945, including the euthanasia doctor who was exposed in 1959 Werner Heyde . For their confrontation with a dark chapter in the history of Flensburg , the theater makers received the city's culture award in 2009. The 2015 performance “Tanz den Dönitz” followed on from this chapter in the city's history . It was played in the back yard of the Flensburg Police Headquarters (Dönitzhof) to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the arrest of high-ranking Nazi members of the Dönitz government in May 1945. When choosing the venue for a theater production, the Pilkentafel often opted for a (otherwise mostly disused) public building. So they said goodbye with a large collage to the old city library, which had to give way to the Flensburg-Galerie shopping center in 2006 . The old indoor swimming recorded the Pilkentafel from September 2011 a total of 14 times with the novel Dictionary of Jenny Erpenbeck . The old railway post office from 1927 next to the Flensburger Hauptbahnhof breathed the theater group from May 2014, the Theater Art Performance Project Flensburger human capital new life.

Action radius outside of Flensburg

The invitation to the Mühlheim theater festival Kinderstücke in 2011, where the Japanese literary scholar Yōko Tawada staged a piece for the pilk table for the second time with "My little toe was a word" is considered a renowned appearance outside of Flensburg . After its world premiere on June 19, 2010, the production was nominated for both the German Children's Theater Prize 2010 and the Children's Piece Prize 2011.

The “Pilkentafeler” 2012/2013 ended up in the French city of Chambéry for seven months . At the suggestion of the French theater company Les Yeux Gourmands , the Flensburg theater people swapped “the place of life and work” and played in the Alpine city, while the French played in the Fördestadt. For the company, which only had offices and rehearsal rooms in a psychiatric clinic at home, the exchange was an opportunity to use the Pilkentafel as a permanent venue to stage the play Ana Sansai, the strange gaze, among other things . In order to break down language barriers, the French initially played in French , but in a kind of “picture theater”. After the exchange, the French exchange partner and theater director Véronique Chatard was “enthusiastic about the Flensburg audience, how quickly and unbureaucratically they had reacted to their address.” In France, the Flensburg-based Bohde and Schütte relied more on images and gestures and showed the piece jacket like pants in the auditorium of the psychiatric clinic, gave workshops for teachers and concentrated on the preparation of the play Diverse Differenzen - Differences Diverses . With this, the two wanted to allude to the Franco-German friendship after their return from France .

Cooperation as a new concept

Since the beginning of 2014, the Pilkentafel has been cooperating with the director Peer Ripberger (* 1987 in Flensburg) and the theater collective Theater Kormoran , founded in Hildesheim in 2006 , an ensemble without a fixed location that operates primarily in Flensburg, Hamburg and Leipzig . There have already been other collaborations with the Hamburg theater Triebwerk - for example in 2006 in Odysseus errt , in 2008 in The beautiful hour and in 2009 in DROP - and since the early days of the Pilkentafel with the composer Matthias Kaul and the ensemble L'art pour L'art . A concept from 2016 envisages “separating” the house from the Pilkentafel theater group and instead opening it up to other theater makers. The aim is for seasons from September to June with six premieres and 120 performances per year.

In order to accomplish this, a generation change that was noticed nationwide began in 2016, in which the decades-old management under Bohde and Schütte gradually withdrew, Ripberger joined the theater management and a younger team was given precedence. The aim is to present the work with a new director, actor and technician in a more effective way by integrating social networks and thus to reach a younger audience and a “greater national appeal”.

Convinced of the “pioneering role in the generational change of independent theaters” and the “international co-productions as part of the Pilkentafel DNA ”, the budget committee of the German Bundestag decided in November 2016 that the Pilkentafel would be up to 1.2 million euros from the budget for the next three years of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media . “From 2020 the conversion process should lead to platform financing under EU law .” ( Flensburger Tageblatt ) At the beginning of April 2017, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media revised the funding decision after examining the conversion concept. The artistic director Peer Ripberger then withdrew from the theater.
