GTA - German Theater Abroad
About Us
Mission Team Press Timeline
GTA Mission
Since 1996, GTA has produced theater festivals, productions and staged readings on both sides of the Atlantic, including New York, Düsseldorf and Berlin.
While we develop new forms of theatrical presentation for each project, all of our work is defined by three principles:

Contemporary Drama

GTA regards contemporary plays as a mirror of today’s reality. Translated into the vernacular language of the respective country, these texts form the core of our intercultural dialogue.

International Teams

GTA produces its theater in the country where the productions and festivals will be performed. Productive friction is the result of artists from different countries working together. This is the motor of our creative process.

Discussion

GTA seeks to communicate with the audience in all of its work. The conceptual and aesthetic framework of each project serves as an invitation to become a part of the event and participate in the conversation.
"GTA's artistic approach clearly distinguishes it as one of the rare examples of gifted and enthusiastic companies familiar with both sides of the Altlantic. Their work is bold, witty and avant-garde. At the same time, it seems to me sensitive enough to capture the spirit and the crucial issues of our time and identify exactly how and where dialogue can be initiated."
