Welt/Bühne Salon
Content description
Each playwright will be introduced to the audience during their residency. In the WELT/BÜHNE Salon, Residenztheater-actors will read the guests' latest texts, after which there will be an opportunity to get to know the authors and ask questions: What role does theatre play in their home countries? What are the working conditions like? What is their fascination with theatre? But also: How do they view us and the German-speaking theatre landscape?
Salon No. 9 with EVA GOUDA AND ANDREJA KARGAČIN
on 22 June 2026
These are the new members of the WELT∕BÜHNE network of playwrights: Eva Gouda from Amsterdam and Andreja Kargačin from Belgrade. Both will be coming to Munich for writing residencies during the 26∕27 season. We are introducing them to the audience now to bring them into conversation with one another and present readings from their texts.
Eva Gouda writes primarily for children and young adults. She is interested in weighty social issues, which she addresses in entertaining forms, as in her play »Puppolism« for three puppeteers. In it, she uses concise, fast-paced scenes and plenty of humour to explore the mechanisms of manipulation and seduction.
Andreja Kargačin is not only a writer but also works as a performance artist, director, choreographer, and visual artist. Her works are political and deal with collective memory, totalitarian regimes and gender roles. In »Dora or Who’s Going To Stitch the Vests«, invited to the Vienna Festival 2026, she draws on her personal experiences of the recent student protests in Serbia.
