Chris Dercon will record all of Berlin – B.Z. Berlin

He speaks German. And fluently. Since 2011 Chris Dercon (57) is married to a Munich gallery owner. And he knows every detail about the history of the Volksbühne decision. With Frank Castorf he has already spoken in the 100-year celebration of the Volksbühne last December. “Since I knew more people than you,” says Chris Dercon, the new Indendant the Volksbühne to Berlin’s Culture Secretary Tim Renner (50), and agrees.

There were many angry voices to the art curator who is currently the Exhibition Hall Tate Modern in London and now directs to take a spoken theater. “I have learned in Berlin is a dirty word curator,” cautions Dercon. The “u” says the native of Belgium as “ü”. That sounds soft and sparkling. And neither can he criticized zoom in. With every sentence he makes his message clear: I come – come what may there

From 2017, he took over the Volksbühne, his program director will Marietta Piekenbrock.. The choreographer Mette Ingvartsen and Boris Charmatz, the directors Romuald Karmakar and Alexander Kluge (film) and Susanne Kennedy (theater) should be firmly attached to the house. This gets a “solid, indentitätsstiftendes, heterogeneous ensemble” of dancers and actors. In addition, satellite venues are to be acquired at Tempelhof Airport, the Babylon Cinema and the Internet in Hangar 5.

The five million euro budget increase, the rumors, the speech was designated Mayor Michael Müller (SPD) as “fictitious”, but it is clear that one must “support further development and financially” one.
