With his theater against consensus, Frank Castorf transformed the Berliner Volksbühne at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz into one of the most radical artist theaters in Europe with a global impact over the course of 25 years. In 2017, this aesthetic-political experiment was temporarily halted by a decision from Berlin's cultural policy and the handover of the venue to a curator. In 12 interviews spanning 21 years, one can observe Frank Castorf in thought. The most important director of contemporary German theater discusses his work, his perspective on Dostoevsky, Heiner Müller, Malaparte, Jelinek, Chekhov, Brecht, Artaud, Goethe, Tarantino, and Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, as well as gentrified Berlin and the illusions of political correctness: "The middle-class consciousness of Prenzlauer Berg, with the feeling that nothing can happen to us, is perhaps just an interim stage.".
