Interdisciplinary institutions

Funding is provided by the Federal Sate of Berlin to five interdisciplinary institutions which bring together various genres in their work and/or do not restrict their activities to a particular cultural form or discipline.

UfaFabrik Berlin is an international cultural centre and housing project with an integrated, socio-cultural approach to work, culture, creativity and the community. The centre operates a programme of cultural events including theatre, cabaret, vaudeville, world music, and circus and theatre events for children.
