Two Places – One Piece
A joint programme by the Theater Oberhausen and the Radu Stanca National Theatre in Sibiu (Romania) - supported by the Wanderlust Fund
The Theater Oberhausen and the Radu Stanca National Theatre in Sibiu first contacted each other while researching for a theatre project based on immigration. The result is an intensive joint project that addresses what it would mean to a young person of African descent from Oberhausen to meet a German-speaking youngster from Sibiu, and what ideas concerning one's homeland and sense of belonging would result. The director/performer Bernhard Mikeska will go to Sibiu in search of new impressions that he will later incorporate into a theatre performance in Oberhausen. The German writer Lothar Trolle and the Romanian Lia Bugnar have been commissioned to write plays about their experiences while visiting the other's city. The works will be performed at both theatres.

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.
