ON/LIVE 2025
Free, open, always – digitalisation for everyone?
15.05. – 17.05.2025

ON/LIVE is FFT’s digital workshop. Between theatre, games, education, and society, we explore current forms of gathering. The 2025 edition is about a central promise of digitisation: more access for everyone, anytime and anywhere.
ON/LIVE 2025 encourages the exchange on access and exclusion – critical, playful, and courageous. As part of the festival, the fifth edition of our How did that go again? series in which we remember special moments from 25 FFT years will also take place. This time, we talk about game jams, lockdowns, and „the people formerly known as the audience“.
Programming: Katja Grawinkel-Claassen and Susanne Schuster
