Peter Sloterdijk in conversation with Christoph Ingenhoven: "Theater as a public space of the city society"
In conversation with architect Christoph Ingenhoven - responsible for the renovation of the Schauspielhaus theater – philosopher Peter Sloterdijk discusses the topic "Theater as a public space of the city society". Cities are central to Peter Sloterdijk: Society is constituted in them, they are what he calls the “meta collection”. But this collection works differently in times of social media. The role of institutions such as city theaters is also changing. Does it still exist, the much-touted “public space” in which the interests of society are publicly negotiated? Can a city theater, like the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, be such a place? And how can architecture helpmake it happen?
