On the other hand, it also raised awareness of the uniqueness of theater as an art of gathering and encounter, provoking solidarity and unexpected solutions. And now?

The publication brings together contributions from independent theater artists and cultural politicians about their insights, ideas and demands gained from the Corona crisis. The topics range from funding policy and social security to the fundamental right to artistic freedom and digitality to the vulnerability of the body in the theater space.
