<span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> This episode, number 5 already in an increasingly well-listened-to podcast series, is about the future of theatre. A future after Corona, of course, but also the future as some theatre-makers and journalists dream of it. For example, Marijn Lems (NRC) and Wijbrand Schaap (Culture Press) talk about Milo Rau, the high-profile artistic director of NTGent (Belgium). Who came in to the southern neighbours a few years ago with a veritable manifesto.

We hadn't seen such a manifesto for a while, and Marijn updates you on what to do with it. In a recent interview, for instance, Rau also says that, as far as he is concerned, critics should have a seat at the theatre's director's table. What do we think about that?

Listen and shudder. Because, of course, it's also about the power of the critic. And about theatre after corona. Because there's a lot to be said about that.
