Freedom Prison focuses on freedom and restriction – in terms of politics, art, humanity and history.
Sustainability and diversity is integrated in all aspects.
During 2016 each ensemble will make a small show based on its own free interpretation of the words ‘Freedom Prison’. The shows are presented in the respective countries.
The Ensemble Shows will be presented to the public at FAENGSLET on the days leading up to the Freedom Prison Show. Each show will run several times during the week.
Simultaneously, there will be rehearsals of the big joint Freedom Prison Show, which will run for two evenings. There will be room for 8,000 people in the audience each evening, and admission will be free.
