MONDO Musiktheater

Casting 2024/25

The new Mondo Musiktheater production:

communication!

A handful of students are absurdly thrown together and have to communicate and deal with each other, whether they want to or not.
In the process, the very different characters come closer together or not, can help each other or not... and perhaps even dormant talents are awakened.

What do you have to say? What bothers you? What do you dream about?
How should we treat each other...

This is what the new Mondo Musiktheater production will deal with.
The ensemble will swing, rock and rap their way through dance and music styles and create 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.

Come to the casting and join in!

Here you have the opportunity to bring something to the stage together with a great group and experience an intense, creative and unforgettable time!
You can dance, sing and act for two semesters and then enjoy your show in the sold-out Mensabar!

The dance and acting casting takes place in the pavilion of Mensa Rempartstraße

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.
