There is nothing to sugarcoat: the world is in crisis. Climate crisis, wars, social injustice, classism, isolation, alienation and the rise of the right. Oof. The theater offers little that is cheerful, not even a distraction, at least that’s the impression you get when you look at the nominations for the Mülheim Drama Prize 2024, which were announced on Tuesday. Here too: hard material. However, the theater has always been a good place to negotiate polycrises with force and dig into them. And this selection really makes you want to.
