Granted closing point does not pop, it fits almost too well as end: "DasDementi has probably not spoken as well as rumor before," says Porter at stage entrance of popular stage, and he grins Darüberganz satisfied. The rumor said that outgoing director Chris Dercon Werdesich to post news about his immediate withdrawal at eleven o'clock of press and to explain himself to public. Stimmtealles.
A few journalists have come for nothing, two camera teams film dasTheatergebäude from outside. There is not much to see here for a long time. Now only: On front entrances, that cashier open somewhat laterthan usual, and at stage entrance note, canteen remains heutegeschlossen. On billboards and trash cans around building amRosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin-Mitte stick yellow Note: "Bye Chris" is at stake those big, in old folk stage writing of Castorf era.
So re will be no ÄraDercon. After half a year director plus Knappzwei years of turbulent preparation time before that is already concluded. In Deroffiziellen press release of cultural administration of this morning, Berlin cultural Senator Klaus Lederer and Dercon would have agreed "Einvernehmlichdarauf to terminate director of Chris Dercon with immediate effect". Dercons concept was "not as expected", Volksbühnebrauche "immediately a new beginning". Klaus Dörr, who is probably future new managing director of atre, should initiate this. "In rest it's me important to emphasize", Lederer lets tell, "that PersönlichenAngriffe and invective from parts of city against Chris Dercon in past were unacceptable. Such forms of confrontation sindunwürdig and deprive any culture. "
Unworthy: This is a suitable word for many things, actually almost everything that has happened since 2015 different and around folk stage.
It begannmit surprising decision of n BerlinerKulturstaatssekretärs Tim Renner to replace n-director Frank Castorf by atre inexperienced exhibition maker and museum director Dercon. That Castorf had to go auchmal sometime after two and a half decades of tenure had been clear long before. He was allowed to meet SeinenVertrag until last summer.
Then re was again Beckett-A-actCastorf, however, apparently felt deeply offended and probably feared (ImNachhinein not wrongly) that with decision for Dercon burglary with that of Castorf BegründetenVolksbühnen aestics since Nineties was wanted. Claus Peymann, Damalsals artistic director of Berliner Ensemble, actually still a local competitor VonCastorf, immediately insulted Renner as "dwarf of Life" and thoughtlessly of "Eventbude"; Also Jürgen Flimmsah with Dercon "The colourful all kinds of event culture" in folk stage Einziehenund called Berlin Cultural Administration to reflect.
Besinnenmusste Klaus Lederer, since election to Berlin House of Deputies in year 2016im new red-red Senate at post of cultural senator, not at all. Lederer had little doubt that he had always considered decision of an predecessor racer for Dercon to be wrong. Nochim last summer he held on evening of last presentation of old stage on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz a large, albeit short praise AufCastorf. What was a farewell feast for all fans or even only citizens Geplantgewesen, although ersoff in summer rain, but Castorf and Lederer Prostetensich once again in public sphere – also a way to greet someone new. The takeover by Dercon, however, could and also wanted to reverse Lederernicht more.
Scarcely was old folk stage pulled out of building, Lederer was n asked AlsKrisenmanager in a completely different way after a loose group of VonAktivisten and Dercon opponents had occupied building without hesitation and, among or things, demanded a collective director. Lederer went to occupiers, find with remaining folk stage staff to solidarity believed (which apparently but had rar little desire), and did at least so alswolle he seriously negotiate with m. Until y were carelessly allowed to pass eineFrist, because y did not want to do ir internal collective conversation according to time expectations of cultural senator. He used newspapermen opportunity to let Berlin police clear building. Sowar at least concrete space of popular stage again free for Dercon.
But he actually wanted to be re, has not become quite clear today. His ErsteSpielzeit began Dercon last September with some dance spectacle on Tempelhofer field, where he had frantically zusammenzimmernlassen a second venue, which is now reasonably broke; In November, real house at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz started with an evening of AltbekanntenTino-Sehgal-performances and reconstructions of Beckett-one-act. Little Istseir was added to classical speech atre, since preliminary critics had already quite right: if re were not old youth atre P14 of house, n würdean some evenings in popular stage only still discussed, read aloud, danced, music made or in right Universal sense.
