Dramatis Personae II

  Sebastian Weiss

"The city is the theatre of life" stated two experts in Urban Research, Ash Amin and Stephen Graham, in their joint publication "The Ordinary City" in the late 90s. I like this metaphor very much, as dramas, comedies or cliffhangers are performed on an urban stage every day, and we are all part of this public performance. I wondered why not expand this idea of a „public performance“ and consider the city itself as a theatre. So I intended to examine who are the protagonists on such a stage of the city.
