A joint programme by the Landestheater Tübingen and the Karelian National Theatre in Petrozavodsk (Russia) - supported by the Wanderlust Fund
On the border to Finland in the secluded Republic of Karelia, the Karelian National Theatre in Petrozavodsk performs plays in Finnish and Russian. Tübingen and Petrozavodsk have been partner cities for almost twenty years and now wish to extend their cooperation to include a theatre partnership. The Landestheater Tübingen and the Karelian National Theatre will invite each other's house directors as guests. The premieres of these guest-directed productions will be embedded in a small festival of new theatre performances in each city. The joint programme will conclude with a trilingual production of "Romeo and Juliet" that will particularly emphasize the aggression we feel toward otherness and the utopia of overcoming cultural divisions.

Further Informations
The Wanderlust Fund
The German Federal Cultural Foundation established the Wanderlust Fund to support German municipal and state theatres that wish to engage in a partnership of exchange with a foreign theatre for a period of two to three seasons.
Wanderlust blog
In February 2010 the participating theatres began sharing their impressions of their joint meetings, workshops, guest performances and co-productions in our Wanderlust blog. In addition each season, three Pfadfinder (scouts) head out and visit the Wanderlust projects, describe the international theatre partnerships and document these exciting cross-border encounters in texts and images.
