As a visitor, you see the end result on stage. But what actually happens before the curtain rises? In this theater talk, you dive into the creative process of theater: from first idea to premiere. Who is involved, what choices are made, and how does that one production ultimately come about?

With special attention to classical repertoire, you discover how theater makers breathe new life into old, sometimes 'dusty' texts. How do you make a classic urgent and relatable for today's audience? And why do some stories remain relevant for generations?

You'll also receive concrete tips for watching, so you can sit in the auditorium with a fresh perspective and even more curiosity.

The theater talk is given by Laura Simonse. Laura works as a freelance dramaturg in the theater sector. Additionally, she developed and taught stage appreciation courses in various theaters throughout the country.
