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 5-20 January 2024. 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.
We recommend the use of headphones during the audio performance. In addition, online audiences should have pen and paper ready.
Philosophiermaschine Online is an artificial intelligence that brings dead thinkers back to life. With headphones and the push of a button, the online audience can enter into a lively dialogue with Hannah Arendt, Karl Jaspers, Ernst Bloch and others and renegotiate their central themes for the present: Freedom, dissidence, otherness, censorship, social utopia, hope - in 20th-century Europe, these concepts were bargaining chips in post-war philosophy shaped by war experiences. Today, they have a new relevance against the backdrop of current political developments.
Interrobang's algorithmic sound montage enables the audience to have individual "conversations" with the deceased personalities. The algorithms are deliberately designed in such a way that a dialogue on current and future social developments is also possible. In this way, the deceased personalities are "reanimated" and transferred from the 20th to the 21st century. Building on the fund of their historical experiences, they analyse and discuss the social present and future. In the process, the audience can upload their own thoughts and add others. A playful panorama of collective spaces of thought and action develops from the philosophical work on the concept.
INTERROBANG develops new performative formats to address social phenomena and issues. In installative theatre spaces and participatory game and AI settings, the audience can experience, test and reflect on new scenic communication models - analogue, online and hybrid. The play with theatrical community thus becomes a play with present and possible future forms of society and value systems. Since 2012 they have been producing and showing works in (inter)national contexts (SOPHIENSÆLE, HELLERAU - European Centre for the Arts, Ivan Franko Theatre Kiev, Meyerhold Centre Moscow, Ruhrfestspiele, Heidelberger Stückemarkt, Internationales figuren.theatre.festival, STUDIO theatregallery Warsaw, HAU 4 - Hebbel am Ufer and others).
