About me

Introduction Dramarasmus is a European Theatre Project set at the Philipps-Universität Marburg and intended mainly for Erasmus students. It aims to create a productive space for a cultural and linguistic exchange between Erasmus students and local students of Philipps-Universität Marburg. The project was launched in 2011 and was the first project following the idea of Escena Erasmus set at Universitat de Valencia. Since 2014 the project operates as a non-profit association (Dramarasmus e.V.) aimed at promoting the idea of an inter-cultural society. During the course of a semester Dramarasmus offers weekly workshops of theatre training as well as inter-cultural encounters and reflection, concluded by a theatre production at the end of semester. Since its creation, Dramarasmus has released six plays. The plays had on one side the goal to present famous European playwrights to the audience. On the other hand they aimed to reflect on social phenomena of living in a meritocracy, instrumentalization of fear and construction of identity in general. Moreover, Dramarasmus organized various cultural events, such as a Poetry Night inspired by the inter-cultural topic of "The Other".
