The Crater represents and produces interdisciplinary storytelling work — built for storytelling festivals, cultural venues, universities, and organizations who want more than entertainment in the room: something with real pressure behind it.
We don't manufacture the pressure. We give it somewhere to go.
The story that broke the surface first — inheritance and memory, under real pressure. The most developed show in the slate, and where presenters start.
Not a keynote about resilience. Not a eulogy either. GLENN — full title "The Things We Don't Speak About" — sits somewhere a room doesn't expect: Erik's birth coincided with his uncle Glenn's suicide, and the show turns that inheritance into 60 minutes of personal stories and original songs. A solo performance — one performer, one stage.
Each show is built to travel — but the pressure behind the booking usually comes from one of these.
Organizations looking for a genuine, reflective experience for staff — not a keynote, not a team-building exercise.
Hosts and organizers wanting a storytelling performance as the centerpiece of a gathering.
Universities booking GLENN for its honesty about identity and meaning. Primary schools booking Märchen und Musik, our storytelling-and-music program for younger audiences — most recently a two-day residency across three Berlin schools, March 2025.
Festivals, venues, and presenters programming interdisciplinary and narrative-driven performance.
