Playground for Tomorrow
Installative, performative and interactive work at various locations in Salzburg, as part of the Sommerszene Salzburg: If today's practices are the basis for tomorrow's life, we should definitely question our everyday actions. To do this, we should create spaces for play where we live - in Salzburg. We are a group of five individuals who come from different places, ages, experiences and languages.
As such, we invite you to transform Salzburg into a field of research and practice, a playground where we test actions for tomorrow's life: Body politics, eye contact, small and big talks, poetic and pragmatic gestures for times to come - good, as well as bad.
Because: more than anything else, practicing on the future is a practice! "Playground for tomorrow" is an installative work, but also a visible and interactive way of being there for each other. The work is the second collaboration between Sommerszene and the master's program Applied Theater - Artistic Theater Practice & Society of the Thomas Bernhard Institute at the University Mozarteum
Inspired by On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons for Resistance/On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century byTimothy Snyder and Nora Krug, the space is both archive and future lab.
