About the Venue:
Ratibor Theatre
For nearly 40 years, there is the small backyard theatre in Kreuzberg. The roots of the Ratibor Theatre go back to 70's. The history of the Theatre and the people behind it, somehow is representative for the history of the City of Berlin itself: from the highly politicized 1970's, the apocalyptic Kreuzberg of the 1980's, the end of the Berlin Wall to the post reunification era and the reality of a vibrating urban metropolis, that is still defining itself - all of that can be found in the history of The Ratibor Theatre.Since 1997 the Berlin improv group „Die Gorillas“ perform their weekly shows at Ratibor Theater. After almost twenty yearsthis symbiosis evolved a story of success, that formed the Ratibor into an international institution for impro and "Die Gorillas"to one of the best Impro-Groups worldwide. Additionally the annual festival for international impro theater IMPRO is takingplace here, too.
