We mourn Martina Arroyo (1937–2026), Erwin Piscator Award laureate 2010. Opera legend, social worker, teacher. “I never forgot wanting to work with young people,” she told us for our book "Erwin Piscator’s Legacy Lives On." Her memory will live on. 🕊️

“It is good to reflect on the republic even in times of the (Federal)Republic.” Erwin Piscator (1964). Yesterday, in Saxony-Anhalt 50 % of eligible voters cast their ballots for extremist parties. Now, no one can return to business as usual. Elysium stands for defending democracy
Glad to announce the honorees of the 39th Erwin Piscator Awards Dinner on 11/5 at the Lotos Club NYC. Join us in honoring Anthony Roth Costanzo & Anthony Napoli for their exceptional contributions to the arts. Reserve your seats, support our work: art & education without borders.
Saturday's attack by an Islamist terrorist was an attack on the core values of our free and open and democratic society. Hate is never the answer. We continue to counter hate with creativity!
Do not put off for tomorrow what you can do today, the time to be good, to do good, and realize God is now.
„The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart!“
Helen Keller (1880-1968)
In the „cake“ of industrial prosperity culture is not the superfluous cream topping but rather the ferment for development and the condiment for the „tastiness“ of life itself.
A Clear Commitment - The cast of Elysium's revue DANCE ON THE VOLCANO before the performance in Munich. Since our founding in 1983, we at Elysium between two continents have been resolutely using the power of art to fight against antisemitism, racism, discrimination, and hatred.
