Audience Engagement

The performance is over – but what lingers on? Following selected performances, the discussion series Beyond the Stage (held in English) invites audiences to continue reflecting on what they have experienced on stage. Together with artists and moderators, we place these experiences in a broader context and explore the artistic processes behind them.
