An important part of the Ringtheater’s DNA is the series Macht Kritisch(es) Theater (»(Self-)Critical Theatre«). It was established in 2018 and is the Berliner Ringtheater’s institution-critical format.

Macht Kritisch(es) Theater or MKT for short, opens up a stage for the reflection of power relations that are inscribed in the theatre’s own structure as well as in other national or international theatre houses. In the form of panel discussions or workshops, the series negotiates current discourses at the intersection of theatre, politics and activism.

In the season 2022/23 MKT starts with a contribution of Klasse Klima of the UdK Berlin questioning the political role of theatre in the climate crisis.
