With the development of theater in modern times, it disappeared from the stages and with it the voice that commented and contextualized, or \u2013 as Roland Barthes writes \u2013 the \u00bbquestioning element.\u00ab \u00bbCh\u00f6re des Spekulativen\u00ab\u00a0asks what the choir would have had to say to the texts and scenes of the modern era, how it would have related to them, had it not been excluded from them: How would he have positioned himself to the theater of the Baroque, to the theater of the Enlightenment, how to the theater of the postwar period? How would he have commented on these scenes, which mostly centered on the individual, how would he have questioned and countered them, how would he have witnessed them? \u00bbCh\u00f6re des Spekulativen\u00ab invites the viewer to encounter a choir that approaches essential stages of theater history in a speculative-retrospective manner. At the same time, the project poses the question of what a form of the choral that is relevant today might look like: Is the choir always a unity or can it not rather unite diverse positions and perspectives within itself?\r\n\r\nThe focus is on perspectives of the present, eight authors from Jordan, Brazil, China, Turkey, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Greece and Germany re-perspectivize selected texts and create a decolonial perspective on what we call the \u203awestern canon.\u2039 In this online version, the camera will act as a spectator's eye - the online audience can thus mingle with the performers via the camera.\r\n\r\n<strong>Director:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/sebastianblasius.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sebastian Blasius<\/a>\r\n<strong>Space:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/marklammert.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mark Lammert<\/a>\r\n<strong>Dramaturgy:<\/strong> Dirk Baumann\r\n<strong>Camera &amp; Stream:<\/strong> Jan Voges\r\n<strong>PR\/Public Relations:<\/strong> Yven Augustin\r\n<strong>Assistance:<\/strong> Leonie Hahn\r\n<strong>With:<\/strong> Leonard Dick, Alexandra Finder, Fabian Hagen, Maria Helgath, Berit Jentzsch, Brigitta Schirdewahn\r\n\r\n<strong>With texts by<\/strong> Ebru Nihan Celkan, Amahl Khouri, Paul P.
