Academy #1: HAVE YOU TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND ON AGAIN?

The basis of our life together are currently undergoing fundamental change: ecologically due to the climate emergency; politically due to the sharp realignment of international relations in response to the Russian war of aggression; culturally due to the ubiquity of digital communication and decisions increasingly being outsourced to Artificial Intelligence. In each case, these are not temporary crises but lasting changes – watershed shifts that interact to overwhelm us with their complexity.

What are the social consequences of these shifts? And what does this mean for the way in which we think about and make theatre: how do we talk about a world that’s in a spin? How can we look to the future? And how do these new circumstances change our sense of global cohabitation? At the Dramaturgische Gesellschaft Annual Congress, theatremakers, academics and activists will meet for keynote speeches, table talks, panels and workshops to analyse various key aspects of a rapidly changing world and to devise new perspectives on these changes.

Congress fee: 90 € / 40 € concessions.
Free of charge to Dramaturgische Gesellschaft members.
