Die Hinterbühne is a beloved small theater in Hanover’s Südstadt, known for its intimate setting and eclectic programming. Founded in 2006 and located on Hildesheimer Straße, Die Hinterbühne defines itself as an “open stage,” welcoming a wide range of performers from comedy, cabaret, magic, and spoken theater. It is also home to the resident ensemble Theater Flunderboll, which has been active since 1987 and specializes in contemporary plays. The venue offers around 90 performances annually, featuring both regional talent and touring acts. With just 80 seats, the theater fosters a close connection between artists and audiences, enhanced by its cozy bar and relaxed atmosphere. Die Hinterbühne is built on community spirit and volunteer dedication, offering a platform for groups without their own stage and supporting mobile productions from across Germany. Its commitment to accessibility, creativity, and cultural diversity makes it a vital part of Hanover’s independent theater scene.
