The article presents selected issues related to the collective management of the Volksbühne initiated by René Pollesch together with six representatives of the theatre company. The crisis caused by the non-renewal of Frank Castorf’s managerial contract and the disclosure of the sexist practices of one of his successors, Klaus Dörr, provoked a broad debate around the preferred management style in this Berlin theatre. Drawing on numerous articles and conversations published in professional magazines (Theater heute, Theater der Zeit) and the opinion-forming all-German press, the author illuminates the heuristic, intuitive character of the new collective management at the Volksbühne against the background of the growing debate in Germany about the need to empower social groups excluded in terms of class, race or gender. The calls for dismantling the central position of the theatre manager (Intendant) and employing a post-heroic management model are confronted with the analysis of the Volksbühne case in terms of ‘politicised’ theatre. According to Jacques Rancière, the political nature of art manifests itself in establishing an open space in which voiceless groups or communities can articulate their political aspirations and attempt to redefine the order of the ‘distribution of the sensible.’ On the one hand, it is worth noting that the newest collective management of the Volksbühne seeks to go beyond the centralised pattern of leadership performed by Frank Castorf and his group of ‘old revolutionaries’ towards the emancipation of women and non-heteronormative groups. On the other hand, the problem of empowerment of Eastern Europeans regained its importance after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. It means the restitution of a key challenge of Castorf’s theatre that was proclaimed after the reunification of Germany.

The phenomenon of the German theatre manager – the so-called intendant – is becoming a subject discussed at many levels, from typical academic discourse to media-catchy news about the scandals and abuses committed by this or that manager of a German theatre. These discourses propose a common diagnosis that the nearly century-old model of theatre management is no longer accepted now. My article presents the historical status of the theatre manager going back to the times of Goethe, contemporary studies and one of the most publicized cases in recent years, which involved Berlin’s Volksbühne. I also address the present situation of the Volksbühne in the context of the city’s cultural policy, audience surveys and the current problem of rising nationalist sentiment and its direct relation to theatre.

The article is an attempt to sketch the problem of the theatre group in the work of Frank Castor, German director and head of Berlin’s Volksbühne. The aesthetics of cynical, political, and critical theatre adopted by Castorf determined his thoughts about the theater group as a dynamic, constantly evolving category, developed with the contemporary theatre program in mind and in opposition to the theatre as an institution. The author presents the collectives of Frank Castorf during his time as head of Volksbühne, recalling the statements of the director himself and his colleagues, as well as reaching for the source of his practice through the lens of his activities in the eighties in a provincial theatre in Anklam.
