How does theatre preserve the memory of social processes, important events and key debates in the time in which they occur? Can it respond immediately to the challenges of today in the way that cinema, television and the internet can? How does theatre keep memory of its own development and the challenges that accompany it? Who are the bearers of theatrical memory? How have they changed with the mass adoption of digital technologies?

These are just some of the questions that participants in the forum will seek to answer.
