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.
