Matinee
Reading with Stefan Maaß

"(...) That's why it seemed appropriate and sensible to me to understand contemporary events as a great world theater and to think about what stories societies tell themselves, what images they create, how these stories draw a map of the present and the future and what they conceal."

Taking Calderon's "The Great World Theater" as his starting point, Blom explores the current issues that are acutely affecting the theater of the world: Climate crisis, globalization and neoliberalism.

Where are we heading?
What are the major challenges? What kind of theater are we making?
For whom?
