Audience Talks

The topics addressed in the ten most remarkable productions inspire us to engage with the urgent issues of our times. Here you will find information about the Audience Talks.

At the Audience Talks short impulse key notes by alumni of the International Forum (IF) will be followed by conversations between participants from the respective production and the audience about backgrounds, social references and decisions regarding content and aesthetics.
