theater as a mirror of life

theater has always played an important role in the reflection of human life. According to Theater in the city it not only serves the entertainment, but also the cultural and spiritual development of communities. The origins of the theater lie in antiquity, with a variety of topics ranging from love to power to death and betrayal. Ancient tragedies of authors such as Sophocles and Euripides have a lasting influence on theater art and its ability to present complex human emotions.

"The last fire" not only offers a stage for the exposure of individual mourning processes, but also a space in which viewers can deal with their own experiences and emotions. This type of theater performances brings together people of different backgrounds and promotes empathy, tolerance and understanding of the diversity of human life.

In times when digital media dominate, the theater remains an indispensable institution that offers space for critical reflection and social exchange. The newly founded non -profit association "Theater in the Stadt e.V." would also like to contribute to the cultural initiative and strengthen the vitality of the theater in society, as on the side of the University of Lübeck can be read.
