Theater Gajes fills squares and other outdoor locations with spectacular shows performed in between the audience. Our aim is to captivate the spectators by entrancing stories with an almost intimate, poetic atmosphere.

Open air performances best suit our artistic qualities, as it allows us to play in a grand style - flamboyant and raw - to choose the height we play at, and to employ ingenious props. By playing on stilts, the show is visible to everyone in the crowd. Dynamic, extra-ordinary choreography, touchable nearness, and large rolling objects are other features of our shows. The crowd forms – as it were - a moving stage, so that the usual separation between audience and actors is lost. Surrounded by live music, spectators feel they become part of the story.

Theater Gajes started out as a street theatre duo in 1985. Today, it consists of 15 professional theatremakers, musicians, designers, and technical engineers. Their intensive cooperation leads to spectacular results.

Theater Gajes does not feel hampered by limitations set by language, culture, age or background. We prefer to play for organisations that do not charge admission fees, because we like to draw a motley crowd.
