Daughters of the future

Performance

This evening is dedicated to the daughters of the future. Artists’ collective waltraud900, together with young performers, develops an overwriting re-imagining of the tragedy “Iphigenia in Aulis”, in which King Agamemnon sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia to bring thousands of ships and warriors to Troy. She does not resist but rather welcomes her own death.

Kultur mit wem? (Culture, with whom?)

Table talk on culture and participation
Conference

How can we achieve an equity of participation in culture? What are the strategies and concepts employed by cultural institutions to reach new or diverse audiences? And: What does a potential audience think of those ideas? The workshop talk will be about all this, while current research findings of an examination on users’ behaviour in culture will be presented and discussed.

Installation

In the </A “Manifesto” of= {every} One.s Own> installation, the visitors individually encounter an archive of texts, sounds, images, and a stage equipment ensemble. Together with an artificial intelligence, they put the puzzle pieces of past fights into new contexts, searching for options open to collective political action in times of codes and computers.

In Ghosts we trust

Interactive Installation

The term “artificial intelligence” often conceals precarious human labour. All over the world, around the clock, workpeople labour on tasks of which we believe: Those are solely the computer’s doing. This so-called “ghost work” phenomenon is translated into an experience for six persons in this installation.

Game, Installation, Performance, Talks

A foyer is a space of encounter and gathering, of seeing and being seen. But it can be so much more! Especially when digital possibilities enter the game. Step into the foyers of two very different theatre houses. Together, we present what we accomplished during a four-year collaboration funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.

The publication Baustelle Commune. Henri Lefebvre und die urbane Revolution von 1871 provides access to key passages from the text written by philosopher and urban space theorist Henri Lefebvre on the 1871 Paris Uprising for a German-speaking audience. On this evening, the authors will discuss Lefebvre’s observations on urbanism as well on revolutionary theory, with an eye towards contemporary changes in the city, in public space, and in urban community.
