Welche Rolle haben Theater heute?/ Which role do theatres fulfil today
Theater work takes place in the present, into which the past always protrudes. In the discussion, historical references will be made to theater in the GDR and to the transformation processes from 1989 to the present day. At the same time, the role of theater in the present, both artistically and in terms of social structure, will be discussed.
