about…
The Fragmented Souls
are an English-Language theatre ensemble based in the Department of English Didactics at the Freie Universität Berlin. Under the direction of John Crutchfield, the ensemble creates from scratch a new theatrical work in English every year. In 2014, the group created Unreal City, which examined the experience of life in the metropolis, with themes ranging from euphoria to loneliness, from boredom to absurdity, and from glimpses of strange beauty to moments of fear, madness and alienation. In 2015, no[w]here home investigated ideas of shelter, home and intimacy, as well as their opposites: exposure, homelessness and exile.
