Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz 1992-2017. The end of the GDR gave rise to new artistic freedoms in reunited Berlin. Shortly after the fall of the Wall, rebel director Frank Castorf was appointed artistic director of the Volksbühne. His way of working altered the public’s perception of this theater. The chronological history of the Castorf era between 1992 and 2017 is told here in excerpts from the productions and in a series of conversations conducted on the long sofa in the theater's foyer.

DJ Punk: The Photographer Daniel Josefsohn poster
6.0

Nobody captured the atmosphere of 1990s Berlin better than German photographer Daniel Josefsohn, who died in 2016 at the age of 54, leaving his mark in advertising with his irreverent aesthetic and punk sensibility. It was his spontaneous, imperfect images shot for an MTV campaign in 1994 that first made him famous.

Brüder, Nachbarn, Feinde? Russland und das Baltikum poster
NR

The inhabitants of the Baltic region are worried about the war in Ukraine. Is the fighting leading to a split in their societies? How do Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians and Russians live together in the current situation? Lutz Pehnert travels from Narva, the north-easternmost city in Europe on the border with Russia, via Latvia to Lithuania and talks to very different people. "Will we be next after Ukraine? Many people in Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania are currently asking themselves this question. For 40 years, the Baltic countries were involuntarily part of the Soviet Union's family of nations. Since their independence in the early 1990s, they have been the unloved western neighbors of Russia and Belarus.
