Theater landscapes

Schauspiel Frankfurt can look back on a turbulent theater era.
The co-determination model was introduced at the end of the 1960s and various productions caused political scandals during this time.

Conversations with the then artistic director Peter Palitzsch and the critic Peter Iden recall the wild times.
Hilmar Hoffmann, head of the cultural department from 1970-1990, talks about his frequent interventions as a mediator in late-night discussions and the numerous disputes.
But the protests surrounding the premiere of R. W. Fassbinder's play "Der Müll, die Stadt und der Tod" in 1985 are also discussed.
Mayor Petra Roth describes what makes Frankfurt so unique and actress Leslie Malton talks about her impressions of the banking city of Frankfurt.
The artistic directors Elisabeth Schweeger and Günther Rühle also have their say.
