The performances shown are the result of process-oriented research that brings together participatory theatre, sociology, speculative dramaturgy, technology, and new media. The theatrical performances range from the confrontation with wishes and dreams to the unpredictable social games of life and feminist sci-fi worldbuilding – every aspect can be experienced. Risks are to be taken, dreams are to be had, wishes are to be realized, fortunes to be won, new worlds to be built!

Theatre is a social art form in which co-poietic feedback loops between various physicalities can be tested as indisputable concepts. Exploring technology as a tool for translation into new experiences and social relationships is at the heart of the Spiel && Objekt MA programme. Spiel && Objekt believes that the combination of technology, critique, and theatrical methods enables genuine participation and interpersonal and interspecies connections that critically reflect different aspects of society and our environment.

Audiences will explore unknown worlds, immerse themselves in dreams, uncover their desires and compete for prizes. With every show, participants get a chance to playfully “turn the tide” and change the course of events. There are contexts, technologies and tools to try out as “carriers of hope”.

Our campus space will constantly change, with various time-based and interactive performances available at selected times. The space will change from futuristic feminist worlds to strange planets to dreamscapes and games of chance. Despite their diversity, all the settings and performances will constantly complement each other when viewed individually.
