THESPIS
dear friends,
We are back! At least as of now (September 2021). Who knows today what will be tomorrow?
Let's be optimistic. When you stand alone on stage, you don't have to pay attention to social distancing. That is why over the past year and a half one could read again and again that one-person theater may be the only form of theater to survive the long period of pandemic crisis.
This is of course total nonsense, because like any other form of theater, monodrama cannot do without people behind and in front of the stage, and anyone who has already seen a few one-person shows knows that closeness to the audience is often absolutely essential and can have considerable impact on audience’s emotional involvement with the drama.
Let's stay optimistic then. We look forward to a very special 12th THESPIS Festival. There will be reunions with good, old acquaintances in well-known and in new roles, new discoveries and young artists from all over the world (mostly currently living in Germany), on top of that readings, lectures, discussions, workshops, and other events. A full, inspiring festival lies ahead of us. Who could not be optimistic about that? Life goes on.
