The Komische Oper Berlin and the Berliner Ensemble Open Call

The Komische Oper Berlin (KOB) and the Berliner Ensemble (BE) are interested in developing artistic formats that merge new technologies with the classical elements, capabilities and resources of theatre and opera.

As part of the Spielräume project, the winning submission from a call for proposals will be produced. The proposals submitted should be artistic projects that create new formats of theatrical experience in a sustainable and innovative way using digital technologies.

Specifically, the KOB and the BE are seeking formats that combine the analogue and digital sphere and that further, in terms of production and narrative, work with actors, singers and/or musicians and include the live experience of a visit to the theatre. The focus is on formats that can be considered hybrids amalgamating the analogue tools of theatre and opera with new digital technologies.
