Welt/Bühne Salon Nr. 8

In the organizer's words:

Each author will be introduced to the audience during their residency. In the WELT/BÜHNE Salon, Residenztheater actors will read the guests' fresh texts - followed by a discussion to get to know the authors and ask questions: What role does theater play in their respective home countries? What are the working conditions like? What is the fascination for theater? But also: How do they view us and the German-speaking theater landscape?

Salon No. 8 with Mariam Megvinyte

Mariam Megvinyte is an author and theater director who is very present in Georgia. In fall 2025, she will be a guest at the Residenztheater Munich for a three-month writing residency. Her writing is strongly influenced by the explosive current situation in her home country as well as by material from antiquity, which she translates into a poetic contemporary language. In the Welt/ Bühne Salon, members of the ensemble will read from her latest play "Jokasta".

Afterwards, she will talk about her artistic work.

Reading in German and discussion in English.
