What happens when René Pollesch stages his plays in open-air cinemas or when Alejandro Iñárritu turns cinema logic upside down in ”Birdman?” What constitutes both ”theatre” and ”film” is often thought of in the context of demarcation logic. Their relationship in terms of media history is of course clearly expressed in the form of the play, its performativity and in the spatial division between stage and backstage. But both sisters of the media claim their own cultural space and traditionally define their specific value and autonomy precisely in the exclusion of inter-media relations. In our session we call for a contemporary relationship between theatre and film processes, which goes beyond the boundaries of definition and finds itself in a rhizomatic structure of the media. If there is a melting of the thresholds of the theatrical and cinematic, their cultural products will have to be re-negotiated.
