Welcome to the world of the third league club “Bussard Berlin”! The real star here, of course, is the team, and the truth lies somewhere on the field – football as a model of reality. “Der Spielmacher” is an achievement-oriented theatre hybrid of football and musical. Including a talking ball. 

The Album of the same name with Music by Die Türen, Christiane Rösinger, Jens Friebe, Chris Imler and Andreas Spechtl will be released on the opening night, June 24, as double-vinyl, CD and digitaly via Staatsakt/Caroline/Universal.
