PORTFOLIO
The theater project "FACETTEN – von Jetzt bis Morgen" was born from the idea of making public space more usable for the wishes and needs of citizens and to understand it as a place of communication.
Actors and dancers perform scenes at various locations in the center of Lübeck that deal with current social questions about the future.
What influence will other cultures have on us? How will we live together with nature? Which political currents will establish themselves?
We were inspired by the assessments of various experts from the fields of climate research, psychology, medicine, politics and urban planning, among others.
