As part of the “Dramaturgy and Beyond” programme co-organised by the School of Drama at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and West Kowloon, Stefan Bläske presents a public seminar on his practice as a dramaturg, in particular his work at the International Institute of Political Murder (IIPM). IIPM, a theatre and film production company founded by Milo Rau in 2007 for the creation and international utilisation of his theatre productions, actions and films, dramaturgy and research, is a critical department in the investigation and treatment of historical and sociopolitical conflict. In this seminar, Stefan Bläske, the production dramaturg of IIPM’s Five Easy Pieces, shares the creative processes employed by the company and explores the dramaturgy of political theatre today.
