SCHMITT & SCHULZ
The team for contemporary forms of theater consists of the directors and performance artists Peter Schulz and Nic Schmitt, who have been realizing joint projects since 2000. Her style is physical and energetic - performance that explores the space and engages the audience. Her productions are playful and versatile, often characterized by improvisation, autobiographical approaches and rules of the game. With their continuous performances lasting up to eight hours, they test spontaneity, randomness and the limits of their resilience over and over again. In 2007, Schmitt & Schulz founded their own play and production location, das pad (performance art depot).
