Die Drehbühne Berlin
In 2004, directors and actors Lorenz Chr. Köhler and Nanda Ben Chaabane founded the independent theatre company Drehbühne Berlin. Their debut production, The Little Prince — which was performed regularly at Berlin’s Admiralspalast for over ten years and most recently in the 2024/25 season at Heimathafen — has drawn more than 350,000 audience members to date.

 


Ditty
Ditty is an Indian-born, Berlin-based songwriter, poet, and urban ecologist whose practice bridges music, activism, and politics of care. She plays with that certain and unmistakable depth in her songs and is also distinguished by her storytelling. 

Her new album KĀLĪ makes her a strong South Asian diasporic voice in the Indie landscape. She is signed with the independent label and publisher Clouds Hill (Mars Volta). 

Her commitment to climate action is demonstrated by pioneering projects such as Make Forests Not War— India’s first carbon-neutral tour—and collaborations with organizations like Greenpeace, Viva Con Agua, and the Rockefeller Foundation.
 


AV FREYA
AV FREYA’s experimental dream pop weaves lush organic warmth with intricate electronic textures. Her immersive soundscapes gently blur the line between the acoustic and the digital. Airy vocals drift through synths and floating guitar over glitchy rhythms, all unfolding into layers of dreamlike softness. Blending left-field, ambient, and avant-pop influences, the Berlin-based artist and producer shapes a sonic tapestry where nostalgia meets the future.
