They are back. Live and in the flesh. After the ARD Radio Play Days had to go into online quarantine last year due to Covid, they will once again take place on site at the ZKM | Karlsruhe in 2021.
Compact on two days: the competition for the ARD German Radio Play Prize – as always with twelve submissions from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as always publicly discussed by a competent and prominent prize jury. There are four further prizes. They will be awarded during the »Night of the Winners« – with the Upper Bavarian band »Dreiviertelblut«, which promises »folklore-free folk music«.
A live radio play conceived especially for the Radio Play Days will be presented by the singer and director Schorsch Kamerun. His piece »Unerhörter Sound« (Unheard Sound) is about the question: Can art continue to ask effective questions under Covid restrictions? The event day under the motto »Next Generation« will deal with questions about the future of radio plays.
Anything missing? Yes, the children's live radio play at the end of the festival. Unfortunately, thousands of enthusiastic children (and their parents) cannot be »tamed« according to Covid rules – without losing what makes the day: irrepressible fun and unlimited movement. But next year...
Admission to all events of the ARD Radio Play Days is free, except for the live radio play »Unerhörter Sound«. Tickets are available from 20.10. at www.swrservice.de
