乔治-奥古斯都-哥廷根大学位于哈茨山西麓，三百年历史传承源远流长。这里文化积淀深厚，学术氛围浓郁，是前辈师长、45位诺贝奖获得者、一代代学子共同构筑的精神家园。
In the summer of 2019, a group of like-minded people initiated the Chinese Theater in Göttingen, hoping to organize all kinds of drama activities to show their talents. The group aims at cross-cultural exchange without emphasizing neither the exotic Chinese style nor anti-orientalism. Its members are interested in the topics of subjectivity, freedom, rationality, justice, and identities in the global context. Building up a platform of intercultural communication will make different cultures more accessible and assessable.
2019年夏天，一群志同道合的朋友为组织各种戏剧活动而成立了哥廷根中文剧社（嘤鸣戏剧）。剧社希望促进文化交流，但无意强调异域风情，渲染反东方主义色彩。剧社成员有兴趣探索“主体” “自由” “理性” “公平” “正义”以及多元文化语境下身份认同等话题，认为只有共建“对话而非对抗”的交流平台，不同文化才更可能达成相互理解与促进。
