!!!Freie Gruppen

Independent theatre troupes (German: freie Gruppen); theatre troupes 
not performing on one permanent stage, are organised in the form of 
associations for one or more productions and offer their performances 
as an alternative to established theatres. The trend of forming these 
groups stems partially from the tradition established by the Vienna 
movement known as "actionism" in the fifties, and partially from the 
acting troupes founded by student groups and cafe theatres after the 
student movement in 1968. The free theatre troupes deal with artistic 
as well political issues.
