Contemporary Theater

3–5 credits · Undergraduate

In Berlin, theater is not just entertainment - it is a public sphere where urgent social questions are staged, debated, and reimagined. This course offers an experiential exploration of the city's theater landscape through weekly performance visits and encounters with theater makers - directors, dramaturgs, actors, and more. Seminar sessions provide historical and theoretical grounding for our engagement, preparing us to analyze productions as sites where issues of identity, migration, power, and solidarity are contested in real time.
