TWR020 - Realm without King (with Felix Ensslin) - a podcast by Marije Nie & Simon Bronikowski

"Agora. The marketplace. This is where we negotiate who we are. Who we want to be." With this claim Marcel Cremer founded the Agora Theater in St Vith in 1980. A German-speaking theater in Belgium. The first question: The involvement of the local population in the Hitler era. Consequently, the first performance with amateur actors is "Die Ermittlung" by Peter Weiss. For 30 years Cremer was the artistic director, author and director of the AGORA Theater and formed it into a professional and renowned ensemble of the independent scene. After he died in 2009, the group managed to continue.

On the occasion of Agora's 40th anniversary we speak with Felix Ensslin, philosopher, dramaturg and director about this special theatre.
