Abstract
When the Berlin Wall came down, Berlin had no fewer than sixteen public theatres, five in the West, and eleven in the East. It would be the task of the municipal government to integrate these into some kind of unified cultural program for the new German capital. My article investigates the implementation of this governmental agenda through the lens of its arguably greatest success: the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz. Led by Frank Castorf – whose term as artistic director will conclude in 2017 – this theatre quickly became the hotspot of artistic experimentation and political contestation in unified Berlin. Through a close-reading of Castorf’s Clockwork Orange (1993), I demonstrate how the Volksbühne ensemble’s theatre practice made visible social antagonisms both on the stage and within the audience. This contestative or – to borrow Chantal Mouffe’s term – agonistic mode of theatre earned the Volksbühne a unique position in the Berlin public sphere, which it has struggled to maintain through Berlin’s transition to a cosmopolitan, European capital city.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
