Using the example of the puppet theater piece "The Spider and the Web" by Martin Joerdens and the opera " The New Time- Morning Dawn" by Heinrich Thein, reflections are made on whether and how theatre can align itself in the experience of the Corona Pandemic in order to contribute to a more spiritually ethical civilization. In the area of tension between western-influenced thinking, using the example of the philosopher Markus Gabriel, and eastern-influenced thinking, using a description of Paññâ wisdom, the two current plays will be presented and analyzed.
