Theatrale Zukunftsforschung

The restoration and extension work on Bergamo’s historic Teatro Donizetti was completed by the end of last year, despite the long and strict lockdown – the Corona pandemic hit the town in northern Italy especially badly. Now hopes are high that this architectural jewel will soon open its doors again for the public to bask in its familiar glory and admire its improvements.

The building housing today’s National Theater of Korea was opened in 1973 in the heart of the South Korean capital, Seoul. More than a playhouse, its significance for the South Korean nation goes far beyond staging shows – it is considered a stronghold of national tradition. During its recent renovation, the main building was completely gutted, and the large hall equipped to meet all the requirements of both traditional and modern theatre.

Vor einem Jahr stand die Lockerung von Shutdown-Maßnahmen im Theater- und Kulturbereich kurz bevor, als wir Protagonisten nach der Situation und den Stimmungen in ihren Häusern fragten. Jetzt baten wir noch einmal um einen Lagebericht: Wie verliefen die vergangenen Monate, was passiert momentan im Theaterbetrieb, was zeichnet sich für die Zukunft ab?
