Hans Unstern maintains to be not one but rather many persons. For the current album DIVEN, they built an electro-acoustic harp as well as a number of other instruments. DIVEN sounds ahead of its time. On the album, contrasexual love songs blend with agitprop tales from the underground workshop. Hans Unstern, in the lyrics, shimmers between modern fairy tales and discursive pamphlets.

Media artists allapopp and Janne Kummer aka.alaska invent an artificial intelligence to dream up bodies that do not adhere to social norms in their performance “The House of Monstress Intelligenzia”. The preceding workshop teaches the foundations of artistic work with AI (artificial intelligence) to all those interested.

Artifical Intelligence (AI) is the attempt to equip computers with intelligent behaviour and autonomous decision-making processes. While doing so, it becomes evident that computers lean towards discriminatory conduct, as do humans. The House of Monstress Intelligenzia is an alternative draft to the prevailing system and its databanks.

From travels and from memory to and about the little Ukrainian village of Lustdorf near Odessa, the subbotnik group have developed various theatre evenings over the last few years. Now, they take their audience along again, to undertake a musical and imaginary voyage to the Black Sea Coast. It focuses on a house over the course of time and generations, and the intertwining of their shared stories.

A moving musical theatre play about a retracing in the Congo. The transnational ensemble meets the descendants of the seven “pigmy skeletons” that are stored in Switzerland. It is about the question of restitution and the reappraisal of colonial past and neo-colonialist present.

Everything moves towards everything else. This is the doing of one of the fundamental forces in physics, gravitation, or mass attraction. Rotterdam Presenta examine gravity in stage processes. In “Gravity Pieces”, they combine physics and poetry. With the means of choreography, music, and object art, they put everyday objects and human bodies into motion and watch the powers they unfold.

At times, Alice turns infinitesimally small, feeling powerless and lost. Then, she becomes so gigantically large, she barely fits into this world any longer. Everything changes constantly. Only one thing remains, which is the question one asks again and again throughout life: Who am I, really? A humorous theatre play with body, light, and illusions.

In his dance theatre piece praktisch galaktisch, performer Daniel Ernesto Müller a curious creature appears, a mix of everything, not human, not animal, not plant, yet a bit of everything. This funny, colourful creature invites us into his adventurous worlds. Worlds in which role models cannot endure, and in which societal norms have long since dissolved.

Montserrat Gardó Castillo and Petr Hastik have taken on Brutalism – a post-war architectural style that, with its exposed and unpainted concrete, seems an architectural dream to some, while it appears monotonous and unliveable to others. The “Brutology” performance perceives the legacy of Brutalism not as wreckage but rather as a chance for a new thinking. Poetically, it sketches out new designs of the future on its ideological ruins.

Muss aus Krankheitsgründen entfallen. Ersatzweise zeigen wir zu gleichen Spielzeiten ICH BIN LIEBE.
