Together with partners, director Mira Wölfel will explain the plans during a panel discussion.

Presentation and round table discussions on theatre-lighting trends

While the first signs of recovery in the crisis-torn theatre industry can be seen on the horizon, the pressure for modernisation continues to be a challenge for both private and public companies.

In a lecture, lighting specialist Herbert Bernstädt (Adam Hall Group) presents the latest trends and ideas in the theatre segment – which will be followed by a discussion with other experts from the business.

Participants:

• Herbert Bernstädt, lighting specialist, Adam Hall Group
