The retreat into one’s own home is emblematic for the radically reduced social life during the pandemic. In consequence, the use of established streaming services hit an all-time high.
HEIMKINO (Home Cinema) channels this lockdown life of social restrictions by inviting the visitors to take a seat in our ‘living-room’ and watch a series of video documentaries on Berlin theatre projects, filmed during spring and summer 2021.
“Selbstvergessen“ (2021) &
“Die Monster vom James-Simon-Park” (2021)
Junges DT Berlin live-stream productions
Digital Cooperation Project “Spielräume“
Komische Oper Berlin and Berliner Ensemble
Creating HAU 4
The digital stage at the HAU Hebbel-am-Ufer
These films were created in cooperation with the Open Society University Network (OSUN), and are used as teaching materials for network seminars on digital theatres, that bring together students from around the world, to study new developments in digital performance during and after the pandemic.
