THEATER PRODUCTION FOR GESSNERALLEE
2019 – PLANET LOOKING FOR MAJOR TOM
Inspired by David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”, the transmedia concert installation invites the audience to lose themselves on a journey through the universe. Between dream and memory, reality and virtuality, space and time, the audience is immersed in a surreal narrative that triggers all the senses and invites them to take off and reflect at the same time. An intoxicating expedition between planets, states of mind and identity construction, between audiovisual performance and electronic pop music. Or: From the concert stage to infinity and back.
2021 – AU BORD DE LEAU
AU BORD DE LEAU is an immersive musical voyage that questions our symbiotic relationship with water in the light of the Antropocene.
Within the concert installation, experience replaces understanding, and emotions envelop us like in a film. Water nestles on the edge of performative and installation space, revealing the story of its failed love affair with humanity. The stability or loss of a state of equilibrium is often summed up by the action of a few drops. So it may well be that a little blood is shed here and there.
2022 – THE ORIGIN OF LIVE
THE ORIGIN OF LIVE is a narrative open-world format that depicts the emergence and develop- ment of the artistic practice of Cie Across as non-linear storytelling in the KONTINUUM. The troupe develops different narrative spaces, where creation myths, science fiction, and cosmology collide, where parallel worlds emerge between evolutionary theory and media theory, and where the role of zeitgeist and collective levels of consciousness are debated in shaping the multi-layered reality.
