Seit 2018 gehören die Akademien zum festen Bestandteil des Impulse Theater Festivals. Zeit und Anlass genug, um zu fragen: Was bleibt? An drei Tagen bieten die AKADEMIE #1 und ihre Leiter*innen ein Best of der Debatten und Impulse. Geballtes Wissen, geteiltes Wissen.

The ACADEMY invites to a solidary exchange of knowledge focussing on constitutional issues: how can the constitution and the rule of law protect the freedom of art and artists from despotism and discrimination?

With the European Football Championship and the Paris Olympics, this promises to be a very colourful and international year at the heart of Europe. Fittingly, Mayo Velvo will present his polyglot programme “International”, featuring lieds and chansons from Cole Porter to André Heller, from Gainsbourgh to almost overlooked pearls from the Eurovision canon.
