Konzept

Neue Transport- und Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten im 19. Jahrhundert erweiterten den Aktionsraum von Schauspieler/innen und erlaubten Gastauftritte über nationale, gar kontinentale Grenzen hinweg. Dadurch erfuhr der noch im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert um seine gesellschaftliche Reputation ringende Berufsstand im 19. Jahrhundert eine Aufwertung. Diese führte so weit, dass bestimmte Akteurinnen und Akteure international gefeiert wurden und mit ihrer Kunst die Welt bereisten. Im Zentrum des Workshops steht die Mobilität tourender Schauspieler/innen und die damit einhergehende Frage nach dem Theater als Ort interkultureller Begegnung

Concept 

New ways of transport and communication in the 19th century extended the action space of actors and permitted guest appearances across national, even continental borders. As a result, the profession of acting that was still struggling for its social reputation in the late eighteenth century experienced an enhanced appreciation in the 19th century. This led so far as that certain actors were celebrated internationally and traveled the world with their art. The focus of the workshop is on the mobility of touring actors and the associated question; the theater as a place for intercultural encounters.
