In an open letter addressed to the Berlin Senate and culture minister Monika Gr\u00fctters, the current director, Frank Castorf along with over 200 employees including well-known actors and the playwright Rene Pollesch protest Dercon\u2019s proposed changes. The incoming director intends to expand the programme to include dance, electronic arts and music, which the incumbents criticise as disrupting the ideological traditions of the popular theatre, which was founded over 100 years ago. The Volksb\u00fchne is to lose its focus on traditional theatrical forms in favour of a \u2018polyglot approach\u2019.<br \/>\nCastorf and his co-signees fear that the change in direction will irreversibly neutralise the political and artistic traditions of the Volksb\u00fchne, introducing a commercially driven mass cultural agenda. They call upon Berlin politicians to preserve the idiosyncratic approach to programming which has brought the Volksb\u00fchne global acclaim.<br \/>\nChris Dercon has yet to comment.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Chris Dercon&#8217;s plans for the Berlin institution have angered some its employees<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33062,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[38,34,4522,4813,4814,4815,4816,4817],"class_list":["post-33056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-art","tag-berlin","tag-chris-dercon","tag-electronic-arts","tag-monika-grutters","tag-theatre","tag-volksbuehne","tag-volksbuhne"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Chris Dercon\u2019s New Volkb\u00fchne Programme Threatens a Shitstorm Chris Dercon\u2019s New Volkb\u00fchne Programme Threatens a Shitstorm<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/chris-dercons-new-volkbuhne-programme-threatens-a-shitstorm\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chris Dercon\u2019s New Volkb\u00fchne Programme Threatens a Shitstorm Chris Dercon\u2019s New Volkb\u00fchne Programme Threatens a Shitstorm\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Chris Dercon&#039;s plans for the Berlin institution have angered some its employees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/chris-dercons-new-volkbuhne-programme-threatens-a-shitstorm\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-06-21T17:20:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1\u00a0Minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
