UNLISTED: Second Steel

A site-specific performance series that collides the perspectives of locals and newcomers, forming a lens through which to (re)view cities. Produced by Yinzerspielen.

"Lighting Candles in Berlin," March 2013. Photo by: Parag S. Gohel. I like how careful Germans are with the word Liebe. They guard love like a secret, the kind that's only meant for one person.
Casa de Pessoa

First performed in August 2012, NYC; stay tuned for details about upcoming performances in July 2013. Part of the #aptplays series. But I'm not an oxcart, I'm different. / But exactly how I'm different no one would ever tell me.

Local

Based out of New York City, we are committed to Performance-as-Research, the furthering of dynamic artist/audience relationships, and taking theater out of the theater.

International

Yinzerspielen had its start in 2009 as an international collaborative effort between a group of American and a group of German students. True to these roots, we continue to make performances comprising ideas and bodies that have had to cross many borders—national, physical, cultural, psychological—before confluencing.

Collaborative

What we make, we make together.
