A breath of fresh air from the north: In the 1960s, Bremen's theater was considered the most innovative stage in Germany.
Director Kurt Hübner had gathered a group of young talents around him who tried out new forms of theater and revolutionized European theater.
Actors such as Hannelore Hoger, Vadim Glowna, Jutta Lampe, Bruno Ganz and directors such as Peter Stein, Klaus Michael Grüber, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, George Tabori and Peter Zadek provoked audiences with new ways of acting and divided them.
The Bremen Theater found an expression for the youthful, revolutionary attitude to life of the 1960s.
It quickly became known as the "Bremen style", which continues to have an impact today.
In recent years, the Bremen Theater has made headlines throughout Germany with eye-catching productions of plays such as Hans Kresnik's "Ten Commandments", which was accompanied by attacks and death threats, and Karl Kraus' "The Last Days of Mankind".
Esther Schweins introduces the Bremen theater and its exciting history.
Artistic director Kurt Hübner and the current head of the four-genre theater, Klaus Pierwoß, have their say.
Archive footage from the productions of "The Robbers", directed by Peter Zadek, with Bruno Ganz in the PopArt stage set or "Spring Awakening" with Vadim Glowna and Judy Winter, who also talks about her time in Bremen in an interview, are not missing.
In addition, the former mayor of Bremen, Hans Koschnick, who ruled for almost two decades, shares his view of the "wild sixties".
