Online lecture series
Theaters archive their history, theater history is archived: in production archives, state archives and files on theater buildings, in private collections or on digital platforms. Here, the theater and its archive locations are confronted with questions about (un)conscious collection strategies and transmission policies. The patterns of "archival power" (Michel-Rolph Trouillot) are deposited in physical and institutional structures.

Einblick ins Archiv
Theater makers use a wide variety of archives to incorporate historical experience into theatrical events in order to produce and document new knowledge. The patterns of "archival power" are often addressed and (critically) reflected upon, because they help determine the dramaturgy and aesthetics of an archive-based theater.
The lecture series "Theater Macht Archive" explores these and other connections between theater and archive and offers access to the various reference levels. It is aimed in particular at young people working in archives, museums, artistic research and theatre and creates space for networking.
A series of lectures as part of the BMBF-funded archive and research project “Dramaturgies of an Archive” at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts Berlin and the Humboldt University of Berlin, in collaboration with the Bertolt Brecht Archive.
