Schlosstheater Moers Archive Unveiled: Ulrich Greb's Legacy Lives On

After an impressive 22-year tenure, Ulrich Greb, the Intendant of Schlosstheater Moers, expresses his pride and fondness for his time at the theatre. In a heartfelt statement, Greb invites visitors to "lose themselves in these memory chambers," as he prepares to depart on August 31.

The Schlosstheater Moers Archive, a digital treasure trove, is now available online for public exploration. This extensive archive covers productions from the 2011/12 season up to the 2024/25 season, providing a comprehensive glimpse into the theatre's rich history.

The archive includes a variety of productions, such as "The Plague" from 2019 and "21 Lovesongs" from 2021. Each production is accompanied by a trailer, a testament to the theatre's innovative use of video in its productions.

In a departure from tradition, Greb has chosen to create the Schlosstheater Moers Archive instead of a personal book at the end of his term. This digital archive is a testament to the theatre's interest in new storytelling forms and its commitment to preserving its past for future generations.

The Schlosstheater Moers Archive is more than just a repository of productions. It is designed to be a dynamic, interactive space where audience memories and contributions can be shared and preserved. The archive also plans to include a keyword search function, making it easier for users to navigate and explore.

The decision to create an online archive was a strategic one, as it offers a more timely and accessible platform for sharing the theatre's productions. This move aligns with the theatre's history of capturing its present in its productions, often reflecting current events.

Despite his departure, Greb will continue to contribute to the archive with "memory fragments," ensuring his lasting impact on the theatre. The Schlosstheater Moers Archive is a testament to Greb's dedication to the theatre and his vision for its future.

The "Seasons" tab within the archive contains all productions from the 2003/04 season to the current 2024/25 season. This tab offers a chronological journey through the theatre's evolution under Greb's leadership.

The usual term for an Intendant at Schlosstheater is five years. However, Greb's tenure has been marked by a remarkable longevity and a profound impact on the theatre. His departure marks a new chapter for Schlosstheater Moers, but his legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire and captivate audiences for years to come.
