Performance Social/Urban Movements Theatre & Performance
miu lets the theatre audience not only hear and see the urban space but really feel it. For two years, the concept artist and his team have been researching urban mobility structures. Now, they return to the stage with a multilingual performance featuring sound and movement.
The audience will be accompanied through an imaginary urban scene. Tiny music machines develop their own rhythms. They begin a dialogue with literary fragments and the voices of the performers and interpreters who share their memories in German, French, and Japanese. The embedded artistic audio description and its translation open the evening to varied perspectives and associations.
The ”Train Train Ex” book will be published concurrently with the premiere on 1 October 2025, and it will be integrated into the show performatively.
