Three Times Germany is a staged reading of monologues exploring the rifts between East and West Germans fifteen years after the fall of the Wall. From Ruegen (Baltic, East Germany) to Berlin and to New York, director Uwe Mengel re-traces his own life's journey in the memories and disconcerting prejudices of the Germans who crossed his path. Company members performing in this piece are Paul Bonin-Rodriguez, Kim Corbin, Monessa Esquivel and Billy Munoz.

German-born Uwe Mengel was last in San Antonio for the International theatre Festival in 1999. His interactive piece, Ground Zero won Best Director and Breakthrough Award from the ITF@SA. He has been creating interactive and cross-media projects in East Germany, New York and Melbourne, among others. He was the first German artist to produce a performance for the Whitney Museum of American Art. He has created a number of radio plays for German broadcasting corporations.
