Synopsis "Europa"

Europa brings together four European theatres: Birmingham Repertory Theatre (UK), Dresden State Theatre (Germany), Teatr Polski Bydgoszcz (Poland) and Zagreb Youth Theatre (Croatia) - and four leading playwrights from each country - Steve Waters (UK), Lutz Hübner (Germany), Malgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk (Poland) and Tena Stivicic (Croatia). This revelatory piece of theatre sets out to explore the possibilities of collaborative playwriting, to produce a single work that is multi-authored and multi-lingual. Drawing on first-hand accounts, including memories from the 1930s up to the present day, the playwrights have collaborated to overcome language barriers and weave their separate languages into one single dramatic entity. The resulting play engages with increased levels of debate about European identity versus national identity. This edition features both the multi-lingual and the English text, and has an introduction by the dramaturg behind the project, Caroline Jester.

Lutz Hübner (Heilbronn, 1964) is a prominent German playwright, known for his contributions to contemporary theater. After studying German Studies, Philosophy, and Sociology in Münster, and completing an acting training at the Hochschule des Saarlandes für Musik und Theater, Hübner has written more than 30 plays, many of which have been translated into over a dozen languages.

Among his most notable works are "Das Herz eines Boxers" (The Heart of a Boxer) and "Creeps". "Das Herz eines Boxers" received the Deutscher Jugendtheaterpreis, establishing Hübner as a prominent figure in German youth theater. "Creeps" is a piece that explores the complexities of adolescence and has been performed on various international stages. Additionally, "Geisterfahrer" (Kamikaze Driver) and "Die Firma dankt" (The Company Thanks) were selected for the Mülheimer Theatertage, and "Hotel Paraiso" was part of the selection for the Theatertreffen in 2005.
