• Backstage Peeping on Twitch
• An open experiment: Can content and modes of the independent scene fertilize mainstream streaming platforms?

This program invites selected artists to realize independent, digital and discursive formats within their own work processes. These will be explicitly designed to be streamed on Twitch.

As theater has done for millennia, the Internet generates communities that reach a very intimate level through the filter of the medium. Unlike theater, which can only fully develop its strengths in immediate presence, the Internet works best in physical isolation.
Both media are based on an illusion that can be so powerful, to create worlds where there is actually nothing - this is also where the »between us« is rooted.

This experiment is meant to open a door. It is to allow an approach to the language of contemporary performing arts.
The users of the internet should know that the plays of the independent scene are also made for them.

On our projects page you will find the participants of this program.
