The new Mondo Musiktheater production:
"communication!"
The new production is on the way! *work in progress*
The current 16-member Mondo Musiktheater ensemble has been rehearsing for the new production since May 2024.
In the process, they are creating dialogues that are sometimes very forceful, sometimes wildly crazy, dealing with questions such as “Who do I want to be?”, “How do I want to come across?”, “What do I actually want to say?” and the topic of communication in general.
In terms of choreography and music, this time it is an extreme journey through all musical styles and facets of dance, with hardly any music older than 20 years.
The ensemble is currently in the process of swinging, rocking and rapping their way through the various dance and music styles and creating their very own authentic piece in which each performer can present their own personal qualities and in which every member of the audience can find themselves.
We don't want to reveal much more at this point - so stay tuned.
We look forward to sparkling performances in January and February 2025.

The Mondo Music Theater
The Mondo Musical Group (as it was called then) was founded in 2007 on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the University of Freiburg. Under the direction of theater director Jesse Coston and the musical direction of Dominik Hormuth, 30 students presented the brilliant revue "The Show" on a large open-air stage in the university courtyard. The success was huge and since then MONDO has been thrilling Freiburg audiences with a changing student ensemble and new productions every year.
Under the direction of director Stephanie Heine, the participating students receive professional instruction in acting, dance and singing and actively shape the creative process - from an initial play idea to the finished stage production. They contribute their own ideas and perspectives, write dialogues, select musical pieces and design the stage set. This is how musical theater with a local and student connection is created, authentic, young and real.
Around 1800 spectators see the annual performances in the MensaBar. Imaginatively staged, they always come across as original and witty, fresh and cheeky, bubbling over with playfulness and at an astonishingly high level of singing and dancing. The shows are accompanied live by the MONDO Musical Band, which plays newly arranged hits from rock, pop and musicals as well as melodies composed especially for the play.
