Game-Theater in the frame of Theater der Dinge 2023

Eutopia © Giulia Lenzi

How can the coexistence of plants, animals, human beings and fungi be reconsidered? In Eutopia, the audience members come together in small groups around a large game board and negotiate, step by step, the most fundamental questions of this coexistence. Through this, possible worlds and stories are created anew every evening, in which the human and the non-human are interwoven with each other. In doing so, the co-players question the models of biology, ecology and anthropology. This is a game of perpetual transformation, a reflection upon the influence of one’s own decisions and a theatrical experience for all of the senses. 

In their long-running, award-winning collaboration, Cristina Galbiati and Ilija Luginbühl have created immersive installations in which the audience is faced with the core questions regarding human existence within poetic worlds. In their newest production, they integrate the audience even more consistently and allow it to primarily decide upon the course of the evening.

Biography

Trickster-p arises out of the encounter of Cristina Galbiati and Ilija Luginbühl and is intended as an artistic research project which pushes at the boundaries of different art forms. Initially their research focused specifically on the centrality and physicality of the performer; as time went on, their focus has shifted from a more narrow definition of theatre to include expressions that transgress genre boundaries, both conceptually and formally resulting from the mixture of extremely heterogeneous artistic media. Cristina Galbiati and Ilija Luginbühl’s poetics is an invitation for the spectators to open up their perceptive space and create their own reality on the boundaries between inner vision and outer sight.
