People, Cars and Oil. The Carmakers of Barcelona and Stuttgart
A joint programme by the Staatstheater Stuttgart and the Teatre Romea in Barcelona (Spain) - supported by the Wanderlust Fund
Barcelona and Stuttgart are centres of the automobile industry. Corporations like Daimler and Seat are among the cities' most important employers. Both cities are closely connected through the numerous companies and branch offices of their suppliers - so much so that decisions in Stuttgart can directly affect the working conditions in Barcelona and vice versa. The crisis that has taken hold of the entire branch will have an impact on these cities and their inhabitants. The Staatsschauspiel Stuttgart and the Romea Theater, managed by Calixto Bieito, will send a team of writers and dramaturges to their partner city to listen to the life stories of car factory workers and employees on location and gather facts about car manufacturing in general. On the basis of this research, the writers will develop theatre texts that will be performed on stage in Stuttgart and Barcelona.

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.
