Since the art of theater began, it has been about illusions, about artificial spaces where the audience’s imagination can experience the stories told. This year, the Discourse Bayreuth conversations focus on imaginary and virtual spaces. Do theater makers even see a digital future for theater?
Discourse Bayreuth presents various positions on the future of theater. “Is the future digital? A virtual conversation” – with Georges Aperghis, Calixto Bieito, Hannah Dübgen, Alexander Fahima, Beat Furrer, Georg Friedrich Haas, Sebastian Hannak, David Hermann, Stefan Kaegi, Philippe Manoury, Olga Neuwirth, Falk Richter, Alexander Schubert, Valentin Schwarz, Yuval Sharon, and Nicolas Stemann.
