Accompanying the Federal Theater Prize 2023, the symposium will discuss the transformative potential of cooperative forms of work on a national and international level. What effects can medium- and long-term cooperations have for the establishment of sustainability, eye level and multiperspectivity - and what challenges do they bring with them? To what extent do these parameters foster new aesthetic and organizational forms of work?
