Drama

Two semesters full of concerts, workshops and performative resistance for everyone* with glanz&krawall and the Mannheimer Stadtensemble | world premiere
In German language

In the 2025.26 season, the Stadtensemble and the Berlin music theater group "glanz&krawall" are founding the Mannheim Punk Academy. Who can study here? Anyone! What do you have to be able to do? Nothing at all! Leave all ambition behind and become a punk musician! Our motto: three chords for the world revolution. In the face of turbo-capitalism, pressure to perform and right-wing extremism, punk, a counterculture that has been declared dead and sold out, now makes sense again. The Punk Academy invites all FLINTA* Mannheims and solidary boys to escape the daily grind and form bands to play together against the inhuman impositions of the present. Freshman week, block seminars, springbreak drinking and a university graduation concert at the Mannheim Summer included. The Punkakademie Mannheim is an academy for everyone to join in and will take place at fixed times throughout the 2025.26 season: SEMESTER OPENING Sat, 01.11. to Fri, 07.11.2025, on 01. & 02.11.2025 with concerts at Studio Werkhaus The Mannheim Stadtensemble and the Berlin music theater group glanz&krawall invite you to the founding of the Punkakademie and the grand opening of the semester at Studio Werkhaus .
