What is global realism?

The artistic creations of the IIPM - the International Institute of Political Murder, between theatre, film and political action.

The IIPM under its Swiss director, the author Milo Rau, has to date worked on global realism in over 50 plays, films, projects and essays; it is an art form that attempts to draw a portrait of the present day within the context of globalization - in symbolic processes, re-enactments, narratives, adaptations of the classics and political action in 30 countries up to now.

The IIPM's artistic director, Milo Rau, will speak about his work, examine his working methods and develop - in a dialogue with workshop participants and by addressing a selection of his works - the aesthetics of committed stage realism that is at home in both classical stage drama and new forms of theatre.
