© Jürgen MorgenrothThe theatre brings its own distinctions into political conflicts and controversies when it intervenes politically: those, for example, between the actors and spectators, or between participants and bystanders. The research project »Participation and Dissociation: Frictions in 20th Century and Contemporary Political Theatre« investigates participation and dissociation as dynamics that impact political theatre. It takes as its focus the tradition of activist theatre, which has recently gained steam under the banner of global protest movements and networking possibilities provided by the Internet. Performance forms standing in the tradition of the agitprop theatre of the 1920s and 1930s confront their audiences with models of collectivity that—although created in the »as-if« mode—are to be perceived by the spectators as real political interventions and subsequently ›realized‹ by them. Prof. Dr. Matthias Warstat and Naomi Boyce talk about this in the interview.
