Short bio:

Felix Stenger is a theatre scholar and researcher from Berlin, Germany. He got his PhD in 2025 with a thesis about about affirmative approaches to the concept of alienation in works by Susanne Kennedy and The Agency. In the context of T&E, he’s working on the discoursive role that theatre vocabulary plays in early marxist theory as well as on the intersection between performance theory, postfordist subjectivity, and late capitalism.
