The Experimentiertheater

The Experimentiertheater has been home to the EDS for more than 50 years.


For more than 50 years the EDS has been a regular guest in the Experimentiertheater, at the end of almost every university semester.

The Experimentiertheater (The “EX”) is situated within the main building of the faculty of philosophy and the ‘Audimax’ in Erlangen and is part of the Institute for Theatre and Media Studies. It is a technically well-equipped theatre with some of the latest light and sound technology, a variable stage area, variable seating and an adaptable space for audiences of up to approximately 150 people.

Having opened in 1970 as a central university facility and managed by the Institute of Theatre and Media Studies, the Experminetiertheater celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020 – just two years ahead of the EDS.
