Our colleagues Astrid Franck and Jörg Steinkämper are there for you in the TheaterFigurenMobil and will be pleased to answer your questions.

Exhibition

Who’s Talking?
Six Artistic Views of the KOLK 17 Collection

The project “Who’s Talking?” opened the door to an artistic exploration of the KOLK17 collection. Six artists from African, Asian and European countries turned their gaze on the collection and developed their personal response to self-chosen puppets. The resulting views are now revealed in the virtual exhibition “Who’s Talking? Six Artistic Views of the KOLK 17 Collection”.

The exhibition consists of six rooms in which six featured artists can be found and six meta-rooms with conceptual fields that become important over the course of the project. The meta-rooms are currently only available in German. However, you can download the English translation as a PDF.

EDUCATION & MEDIATION

At the centre of our outreach work is the combination of practical theatre pedagogy and the imparting of knowledge about historical puppet theatre. Our academics from the fields of theatre studies, art history, ethnology, cultural studies and architecture, as well as active puppeteers, develop and supervise the extensive educational programme at KOLK 17.

The programme includes public tours tailored to specific themes, offers for groups, for school classes of different grades as well as for dementia patients and also thematically selected performance series’.
