RambaZamba Theater
Artistic collaboration between actors with and without disabilities
The highly successful theatre ensemble RambaZamba brings professional actors with and without disabilities together on one and the same stage. Since it was founded in 1991, the RambaZamba Theater has been a trailblazer when it comes to inclusive theatre work. Come by and take a look – it will definitely be worth the visit.
Inclusive theatre provokes change
How does the saying go? Quality gets around. The extraordinary imagination and expressive force of the actors are an essential element of inclusive theatre. New ideas, imagery and scenes are created that would not be possible if artists with and without disabilities could not work together. They encourage us to think about forms of narrative and character portrayal in a different way.
The founders, Gisela Höhne and Klaus Erforth, are themselves the parents of a child with Down’s syndrome. In 1990, they founded the Sonnenuhr (sundial) association for their son Moritz and other people with disabilities, of which RambaZamba Theater is also a member.

The ensemble at RambaZamba Theater stands in the spotlight: there are 30 resident actors who are regularly joined on stage by well-known artists such as Meret Becker, Antonia Bill, Claudia Burckhard, Eva Mattes, Siemen Rühaak, Angela Winkler and Almut Zilcher.
