In the piece, which is both music theatre and dance performance, the audience itself becomes part of a living sound installation. Electronic sounds emanate from their own mobile phone loudspeakers, which change depending on the distance to the performers and merge into a single collective body of sound.

TO ALL emerging DANCE ARTISTS BASED IN BERLIN
Every new year, the Tanztage Berlin is not only the city's very first festival, it has also established itself nationally and internationally as an important platform for emerging dance artists since its founding in 1996. The next edition of Tanztage Berlin will once again take place under the artistic direction of Mateusz Szymanówka. The festival is currently planned for 5-21 January 2023 - however, the form as well as the exact date will depend on the constant reassessment of the pandemic. The festival offers emerging dance artists based in Berlin a framework for their new productions and revivals. The programme of the last two editions can be found at: https://tanztage-berlin.sophiensaele.com.
Welcome to the arena, the hungry players welcome you! From dating apps to incentive programs all the way to webcam controlled borders with high score rankings – gamification as a neoliberal governing technique is increasingly infiltrating more areas of our lives. Are you still playing or are you fighting already? Are these games even any fun anymore or are they the bloody truth by now? Interrobang plays a game with the games, in which the roles of audience and gladiators can be reversed at any time.
CONCEPT Interrobang BY AND WITH Elisa Elwert, Bettina Grahs, Lisa Großmann, Till Müller-Klug, Lajos Talamonti, Nina Tecklenburg STAGE, COSTUME DESIGN Sandra Fox MUSIC Friedrich Greiling INTERACTIVE VISUALISATION Ricardo Gehn LIGHT DESIGN, TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Dirk Lutz PUBLIC RELATIONS Tina Ebert PRODUCTION ehrliche arbeit – freies Kulturbüro

INTERROBANG include Till Müller-Klug, Nina Tecklenburg, Lajos Talamonti and Guests. The group develops new theatre formats in order to discuss current social phenomena and questions. In installative theatre spaces and participative game settings, the audience can experience, test and reflect on new scenic communication models. Playing with theatrical community thus becomes playing with present and possible future social forms and value systems. Interrobang performs on stages in the German-speaking countries and at international festivals (Heidelberger Stückemarkt, Impulse Theater Festival, Festival Akcent Prague, NONAME Festival Meyerhold Theatre Centre Moscow, Ivan Franko Theatre Kiev, etc.) interrobang-performance.com
