The blackbird invented itself 2485 Years after that memorable performance of the play “Milet” from Phrynichos, which marked the beginning of the European drama.

The blackbird does not understand culture as a luxury item but as food. the goal is, Bring theater there, where the people are. The emotion is placed at the center of a possible change in living conditions or behavioral patterns. In doing so, physical understanding is contrasted with purely intellectual understanding. The mere knowledge of the need for change does not imply the germ of any actual action. The mythological understanding of processes becomes an understanding of one's own history.

The group emerged from the “Literaturzirkus” out, who introduced young authors with staged readings. The body theater, Die Amsel-Theater im Flug, developed from this, who developed a variety of projects for stage and street theater festivals. In the course of time the blackbird worked with over 100 Acting, Dancers, Musicians, Composers, Lighting designers, DJs from more than 20 Countries together.

Directors of the theater have been since its inception 1993 Alexander and Peter Uhl. 2008 the game operation closed for 7 Years. 2015 the flight was resumed.
