Digital Archive Holds Records of Greb's Longtenure Online

In a groundbreaking move, Ulrich Greb, the intendant of Schlosstheater Moers, has created an online archive for the renowned theatre. This digital platform, titled "The Schlosstheater Moers Archive," contains productions from the past 22 years, offering a comprehensive overview of Greb's tenure at the theatre, which spans over two decades.

Greb, who has served as the intendant for 22 seasons, is particularly proud of his work at Schlosstheater. He believes that online storytelling forms are more timely and has embraced the digital medium wholeheartedly. "21 Love Songs," a production that caused a stir nationwide in 2021, is a testament to Greb's vision, proving that theater does not have to be left behind online.

The online archive includes "memory fragments" from Greb, such as "Sex in the head and puppet bodies" and "Valhalla in the parking garage," offering a unique insight into his creative process. The archive also features productions like "#forgetmenot," which combined two of the most pressing questions of our time - about self-determined endings and the limits of artificial intelligence - into a brilliant grotesque.

The Schlosstheater has often captured its present like a mirror or magnifying glass in its productions. "The Plague" after Camus in 2019, for instance, seemed to anticipate the Corona pandemic. The theatre's productions are not just reflections of the times, but also thought-provoking commentaries on them.

The online archive is not just a personal collection for Greb but is also intended for public access. All seasons from 2003/04 to the current 2024/25 can be found under the "Seasons" tab. A video trailer was made for almost every production at Schlosstheater, providing a sneak peek into the theatre's past productions.

A keyword search function is planned for the archive, making it easier for users to find specific productions or memory fragments. The archive is also designed to be updated, allowing for memories or additions from the audience. Greb has also pledged to continue voluntarily contributing to the archive after his term ends on August 31.

The Schlosstheater Moers Archive can be accessed at https://schlosstheater-moers-archiv2003-2024.de/. It's an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of Schlosstheater Moers under the leadership of Ulrich Greb.

While the archive provides a wealth of information about the theatre's past productions, it does not currently offer details about when the Schlosstheater Moers was flooded. Despite this omission, the archive is a testament to Greb's innovative approach to storytelling and his commitment to preserving the theatre's history for future generations.
