Oral History

Oral history is a method of documenting and researching the performing arts. It is based on interviews and conversations about people’s lives and work. Hitherto unheard memories and undocumented perspectives thus enter the memory of the performing arts and complement the holdings. The SAPA Foundation has been running its own oral history programme since 2012. From it, we develop projects and publications and make the recorded and archived conversations available as source material. See and hear for yourself.
