“Now, I no longer believe that merely presenting work under the umbrella of a festival is the best way to attract new audiences or create the best platform for the kind of theater that directly affects people’s lives. After all, most of the audience is likely to be educated and financially and socially blessed, and in that kind of Trumpian setting live theater typically just re-presents reality without actually affecting society.” Chiaki Soma March 2018 about her time as director of Festival/Tokyo
 
Lets see what she thinks about the Festival in Frankfurt+Offenbach today.

Cohabitation Class is working on creating a collaboration among HfG Offenbach Design/Stage Design students and Städelschule for the Festival Theater der Welt 2023. All Student who are interested to present a work or work with the Cohabitation Class on Formats between public space and performance art are invited to join the process. But also everyone else.
 
The lecture is part of a series of public and semi public event that we are hosting in the Cohabitation Lab to test out divers forms of sharing the largest room in the school. We are using the space for on one side as the Atelier for individual artistic work and our class meetings, but at the same time want to open it up from time to time to the rest of the school and the general public.
