End of comfort zone? Art and Politics after Fukushima
With Chiaki Soma, Hiromi Maruoka, Akira Takayama und Steffi Richter / Moderation: Stefanie Carp
- Dialogue
What can theatre mean after Fukushima? Has Japanese society become more open after the catastrophe, or more closed? Does the relationship between art and politics in times of global crisis capitalism need to be readjusted? On this panel, moderated by dramaturge Stefanie Carp, are two of the leading theatre curators in Japan. Chiaki Soma was artistic director of “Festival/Tokyo” for six years. Hiromi Maruoka presides over the NPO Japan Center Pacific Basin Arts Communication and is head of two important festivals of performing arts, the “TPAM” in Yokohoma and “Sound Live Tokyo”. Director Akira Takayama has been invited to “Japan Syndrome” with a new instalment of his “Referendum Project”. Steffi Richter is professor of Japanese Studies at the East Asia Institute at the University of Leipzig. She researches and teaches on the intellectual and cultural history of modern Japan as well as current everyday and popular cultures. She is an expert on the organised resistance to nuclear energy, both in Japan and in Germany.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
