dispositio: Rather than figuring out new formats on the fly, most theatres have resorted to streaming archival video recordings. While I do agree with people who say that watching a recorded performance isn’t the same as seeing it live (of course it isn’t!), it’s still pretty exciting to me that an international audience can now get a sense, however mediated, of what theatre looks and sounds like in German — and in many cases, with the added benefit of English subtitles. I do want to talk about why this is happening in Germany, but not really, or only to a far more limited degree, elsewhere, but that will have to wait.
