The Bundestag. The greatest stage of German democracy. Here, in the plenary chamber of the House of Representatives on Platz der Republik, political decision-makers stage the discourse on the fate of our times. The people watch—from the visitor galleries, from their couches; through the glass dome, right into the heart of the arena of political power struggles.

Reichstag
InsideBundestag stages the political performance. Within a few days, the transcripts from the current session week are transformed into a theatrical experiment that examines parliamentary operations:
its language, its dramaturgy, its rituals. With an ever-changing cast, an evening emerges that straddles the line between documentary and spectacle. Together, we enter the House and challenge its sanctity.
InsideBundestag is more than a night at the theater: it is an experiment that seeks to rethink theater—as a medium that engages with the present in a hyper-topical way, works in a documentary-journalistic style, and operates at the intersection of political education.
