Stage A, Stage B
Why culture?
The massive threat of cuts is plunging culture in Berlin into an existential crisis. We must therefore not only explain why culture is needed, but also what it needs. How art and culture are created, what knowledge, what expertise, what time it takes. What conflicts it negotiates internally and what conflicts it negotiates externally. Which tasks it must fulfil and which it cannot fulfil. What makes it grow, what stifles it. When does culture have an emancipatory power, when does it prevent it? Which freedoms must not be touched, which impositions must be permissible?
Streitraum is a monthly discussion series that has been moderated and curated at the Schaubühne by publicist and author Carolin Emcke since 2004. Scientists, writers, politicians, artists and other public figures are invited to join the discussion. The Streitraum focuses on a new topic every season.
