Cow | Deer at the Schaubühne Berlin

At Schaubühne in Berlin this April 2026, two Royal Court productions directed by Katie Mitchell - Cow | Deer and Bluets - will feature in FIND, Europe’s leading international festival of contemporary theatre, where she is the 2026 Artist in Focus.

Wind in tall trees. White sky. Rain soon. Hooves on earth. Twigs. Snap. Wait. Listen. 

A new experiment from Katie Mitchell, Nina Segal and Melanie Wilson. Using only sound and no words, a quartet of performers and Foley artists evoke the lives of two animals – a cow and a deer. 

Cow | Deer is an invitation to enter the more-than-human world. 

Co-created by Katie Mitchell (Bluets, Anatomy of a Suicide), Nina Segal (Shooting Hedda Gabler, Big Guns) and Melanie Wilson (Oracle Song, Opera for the Unknown Woman) in a major international co-production with the National Theatre of Greece.
