Armen Avanessian & Enemies an der Volksbühne Berlin mit Studierenden der HFBK
Seminars under pandemic conditions are a big challenge. Especially when a group of students and their professor have never been able to meet in person under corona measures. The students of the Armen Avanessian theory class at the HFBK Hamburg and their professor have made precisely this situation artistically fruitful.
Armen Avanessian & Enemies is a SprechDenkTheater series for new political theory and theory formats at the Volksbühne Berlin. Specifically, it asks: What does a theatre of the future look like, not only post Corona, or another wave, but in view of the fact that we have long been witnesses to a third, fourth and fifth economic, social and geopolitical wave? In order to develop artistic and theoretical answers to these questions, new technologies are made productive and different formats are experimented with, from performances and installations to talk shows and games. The following episodes were created with the participation of HFBK students:
