TWR001 - Whereof one cannot speak...
(recorded on March 22, 2020)


What are we going to talk about? Why are we going to speak about what we're going to speak about? Why are we making a podcast about theatre? Why even talk about theatre? Conversations on theatre? Or on performance? Or on practice?
We sit down together in the white room, trying to figure out what this is all about, evoking and struggling with the power of the words. In the effort to convey this to you and to ourselves, unreckoned help approaches through a famous quote by the famous Ludwig Wittgenstein. As the poet says: “... where the danger is, also grows the saving power.”

Theatre in times of Covid-19. If we can’t make theatre or see performances, what can we do? If we cannot meet, at least we can speak.
