Theatre and Digitality  Lecture performance in interaction
© Akademie für Theater und Digitalität

The Academy for Theatre and Digitality is a globally unique model project for digital innovation, artistic research and technology-oriented education and training for all types of performing arts. The focus of artistic research is the question how digital tools can be used meaningfully and sensually on, in front of and behind the stage: So what can a theatre of the future look like that is open to digital change and its possibilities?
Marcus Lobbes and Michael Eickhoff will present the work of the Academy in an interactive lecture: the audience will decide by majority vote which topics and questions will be addressed.
