PANELDISKUSSION zum Thema „Marginalisierte Gruppen im Produktions- und Aufführungsprozesse sichtbar(er) machen“
From transparency in theaters, the focus is moved on to the visibility of marginalized groups. In a moderated discussion, Anette Bühler-Dietrich, George Seremba, Marco Damghani get into conversation about the still acute structural discrimination of groups not only on, but also backstage. It is about representation on stage, as well as presence in the processes of creating productions. What changes are needed to make the theater world a place that is truly diverse, that can actually tell stories from all perspectives? Diversity and variety should not just be hypocritical buzzwords, but goals that institutional bodies should also set for themselves. But this requires changes in structure.
In einer moderierten Diskussion kommen Anette Bühler-Dietrich, George Seremba, Marco Damghani ins Gespräch zur immer noch akuten strukturellen Benachteiligung von marginalisierten Gruppen auf und hinter der Bühne. Welche Änderungen sind nötig, um die Theaterwelt zu einem Ort zu machen, der tatsächlich divers ist, der tatsächlich aus allen Perspektiven erzählen kann?
