Welt/Bühne Salon
Each playwright will be introduced to the audience during their residency. In the WELT/BÜHNE Salon, Residenztheater-actors will read the guests' latest texts, after which there will be an opportunity to get to know the authors and ask questions: What role does theatre play in their home countries? What are the working conditions like? What is their fascination with theatre? But also: How do they view us and the German-speaking theatre landscape?
Salon Nr. 7 with Hong-Do Lee
Satire and parody characterise the plays of the young Seoul playwright Hong-Do Lee. In his new play «Peace Music Festival (Through Overwhelming Strength)», he also paints a critical portrait of the now suspended President Yoon Suk-yeol. In the WELT/BÜHNE Salon, members of the ensemble read from his latest texts and Lee talks about his writing and the theatre landscape in South Korea.
Reading in German and discussion in English.
