At the conclusion of the Theatertreffen, the jury will get together once more to look back at the festival and answer questions about their work. What are the defining trends in the theatre and which of them were present at the Theatertreffen? Did any questions arise during the festival without being answered?

A cultural policy roundtable discusses measures and obstacles on the way to more ecological sustainability in theatre.

New ways of international co-production in times of ecological rethinking are the focus of this discussion with representatives from the arts and politics.

The Theatertreffen 2022 was opened with welcoming addresses from Claudia Roth MdB, Minister of State for Culture and the Media and Member of the German Bundestag, and Yvonne Büdenhölzer, director of Theatertreffen. These welcoming words came from Haus der Berliner Festspiele after two digital festival editions.

Against the backdrop of the continuing impact of the Corona pandemic on the theatre landscape, this roundtable discusses new strategies of artistic production as well as the current relationship between institutions and their visitors. 

The first day of the Burning Issues conference ended at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele with a keynote by author Deborah Feldman.
The Q & A is not part of the recording.

How important is the theatre to our society? How relevant, how diverse, sustainable and digital will it be in future? Experts from the fields of politics and theatre discuss this under the title “The Future of the Theatre”.
