Theatre: What鈥檚 next for the performing arts?
This week on The Cultural Frontline, four leading directors from around the world discuss the state of the performing arts and ask 鈥hat鈥檚 next for theatre?
How are the performing arts faring more than eighteen months into the COIVID 19 pandemic? The Cultural Frontline brings together four global theatre directors to discuss the impact on their industry.
Having embraced digital innovation whilst their doors have been shut, we hear how it feels to be performing live again, and how the plays being staged reflect the unprecedented times artists around the world have been living through.
Joining Chi Chi Izundu to discuss the state of theatre now are Rwandan theatre director and curator of the Ubumuntu International Arts festival, Hope Azeda, Indian playwright, theatre director and lecturer Abhishek Majumdar, the artistic director of the Kiln theatre in London, Indhu Rubasingham and General Director of the Municipal Theatre in Santiago Chile, Carmen Larenas.
