Frankfurter Küche
The Frankfurter Küche (FK) / deufert + plischke is an independent theatre label, founded jointly by Kattrin Deufert, Pirkko Husemann and Thomas Plischke in 2001. deufert + plischke took on the artistic direction and Pirkko Husemann produced it from 2003 on. Frankfurter Küche attempts not to oblige to one particular style, expression or format with background from specific art practices or philosophies. Instead they aim to create critical, distinct work putting different artistic practices and theories together and against each other.

Frankfurter Küche has created a variety of text, audio and video publications since it was founded while internationally staged theatre work and artistic actions were developed including establishing committees and putting on symposiums on the borderline to or in conscious confrontation of theory and practice.
The work of Frankfurter Küche revolves around identity, biology and fiction issues. The artists are concerned with how fiction, myths and artistic processes intertwine with and rewrite their own life stories.
The Frankfurter Küche production Directory was made in collaboration between Frankfurter Küche, BIT Teatergarasjen, Schaubühne Lindesfels Leipzig and Tanzfabrik Berlin. The production was created with students from Bergen National Academy of the Arts and Nordland College of Art and Film.
