Event Details

When is the contemporary? What is theatre? What are theatres? Where is
Europe? What is a nation? Who are “we”? We are surrounded by questions
and crises or potential crises. Our systems, political, financial and
artistic, hang by a thread. And this colloquium “Theatre in Crisis and
the Crisis of Europe”, is just an attempt to reflect on the
(im)possibilities of theatre, to think about the worth of theatre as a
vibrant form of public dialogue in an era of “connected” individualisms.

The discussion will be held in Greek, English, German and the attendance will be open to the public.
