Münchner Kammerspiele x Der Greif: Off To Elsewhere

Münchner Kammerspiele x Der Greif: “Auf nach Woanders/Off to Elsewhere” is an opportunity brought to artists by Der Greif in collaboration with the contemporary theater Münchner Kammerspiele.

Overview

Münchner Kammerspiele is planning a creative project for the visual campaign of their upcoming season from September 2024 until July 2025, and Der Greif is excited to give artists the chance to have one of their images as a part of it.

This international open call forms the basis for a diverse set of 40 images curated by Çağla İlk – this year’s curator of the German pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennial 2024. The selection will be the foundation for the visual design of Münchner Kammerspiele in the upcoming season.

Photographers are invited to challenge and visually enrich the season’s thematic claim of Münchner Kammerspiele, Auf nach Woanders / Off to Elsewhere, with their images. One of the most important theaters in Germany for courageous contemporary theater arts, Münchner Kammerspiele bring new, previously unheard voices to the stage to negotiate the urgent issues of our time. The theater’s attitude is open, passionate, and confident - aspiring to be a space that enables its audience to dream about and negotiate our future.
