Theater ANU ANUVERSUM OPEN AIR | Odin. Loki. Thor. Of tricksters, giants and gods

What is the ANUVERSUM?
10 days of open-air theatre on Tempelhofer Feld. 10 days of Anu theatre art with the best storytelling, the most beautiful live cello music, performative experiments, workshops, rituals, sensual experience spaces, a myth dinner, philosophical talks on the theme of “LOKI, ODIN, THOR – Of trick stars, giants and gods”. The centrepiece of this mythical kaleidoscope is the sensual and very touching evening production YGGDRASIL – Stories from the Edda.

We take you “behind the scenes”. We’ll show you how we’ve been working and thinking since 2005. In the “darned 13th year” at Tempelhofer Feld, we make visible what moves Theatre ANU at its core. With a total of 13 very different programme formats, we want to bring you together on Tempelhofer Feld. We want to see you! We want to know who you are: our audience!

In ANUVERSUM, we ask you about the gods, tricksters and giants in you and our society. If we look at the current global political situation, we might think that the divine is completely absent, that the world consists only of tricksters who have nothing else in mind but to unhinge the world and plunge it into chaos: everything has become an unpredictable game. And the giants of our time? Falling glaciers like in Switzerland (Blatten), severe storms, heatwaves and..

Norse mythology conjures up and celebrates the opposites from which not only the world was created (fire and ice), but which also always have something primordially human about them. Loki is the bridge from the immortal gods to us humans. His impulsive, passionate, unpredictable nature, which wants good and always creates evil, provides the basis for the gods to be divine in the first place: they are asked to create a heroic cosmos out of all the Loki chaos..

See you Loki, Odin, Thor!
