Parole Text:Buch | Der Messingkauf im Curazän

What would a theatre look like that took the local and global relationships of all living beings seriously? Buying Brass in the Curacene ties in with Bertolt Brecht’s fragmentary classic Messingkauf Dialogues exploring the social role of theatre in troubled times. Together with theatremakers, philosophers, lawyers, journalists, and activists, Teresa Kovacs and Kevin Rittberger have developed new perspectives for a new theatre that can address ecological crises as well as the rise of fascism. Polylogues and prose pieces add up to a practice-oriented theatre theory for the 21st century – between ecological reorientation and a bold step towards a radical new beginning.
