as part of Schwanger werden können

01.04. – 03.04.2022

How we think and talk about pregnancy shapes how we live society: Why are being pregnant and being (able to be) pregnant so rarely a topic in philosophy, art and politics? Around the productions „Virtual Wombs“ by Anna Fries and Malu Peeters and „Mater Dolorosa Bleed“ by The Agency we would like to get into conversation about a topic that is omnipresent and yet rarely discussed on the big stage.

Starting from their own experiences with pregnancy, Anna Fries and Malu Peters deal with virtual wombs and the construct of a pregnant post-human. It perceives gender as non-binary, and nature and technology are not viewed as opposites. Its pregnancy is technology. Its body is both fiction as well as reality; it is animation as well as effigy. It is an ultimate, intimate experience of pluralism, possibility, and transformation. It is an attempt to rethink and re-experience being and becoming.

VIRTUAL WOMBS transfers virtual reality into the theatre space. Physical and virtual performers will take along small visitor groups on a tender journey into the pregnant post-human’s womb. VIRTUAL WOMBS is a hybrid constructed of a spatial sound environment, a lighting installation, and a virtual reality trip.
