The virtual Große Schauspielhaus - making theater heritage come alive - The virtual architectural reconstruction of one of the most important theater buildings of the last century is the focus of the lecture: the no longer existing Große Schauspielhaus Berlin by the architect Hans Poelzig.

In a virtual reality production, the building becomes a virtually experienceable exhibition space, digitally reconstructed objects from various theater collections and archives are poetically interwoven through various narratives.
The project thus opens a digital experience window into the past, through which the history of the theater, its architecture and its art can be experienced spatially and theater knowledge is re-contextualized.
What potential and what challenges arise in interdisciplinary cooperation with archives in interaction with highly innovative digital technologies?
What added value can such projects generate in the research and communication of theater heritage? The lecture also provides an insight into the development process and working methods of the project team from the research project "Im/material Theatre Spaces" of the German Theatre Technical Society.
