A look back at the theater

theater has a long and rich story that goes back to ancient times. The heyday of the theater in Greece began a good 2,500 years ago. Well -known playwrights such as Aischyllos and the festivities in honor of Dionysus laid the foundation for the European theater. Continuing this tradition is also the goal of the Altenburg Theater Gera, which always finds innovative approaches to inspire the audience with classic and modern productions. The Abg emphasizes how important it is to promote the cultural exchange through such performances.

In the mixture of tradition and contemporary theater, the heart of a lively cultural life is found. The Altenburg Theater Gera shows how the interaction of different arts - from music to dramaturgy to the audience - opens up new perspectives. Regardless of whether at an open-air event or the regular performances, the theater remains an indispensable part of the cultural landscape and history.
