A production by Turbo Pascal in cooperation with Sophiensæle. Funded by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds. Media partners: Missy Magazine, Siegessäule, taz.

Turbo Pascal develops interactive performances that turn the theater into a meeting and negotiation space for social processes, dynamics and utopias. The collective also realizes participatory projects with citizens who, due to their biographies, bring contradictory perspectives into play and conceives formats for discussions and encounters. The collective works continuously with the Sophiensæle, Theater an der Parkaue and Bürger:Bühne am Staatsschauspiel Dresden. Performances have been invited to numerous festivals in German-speaking countries (including Impulse Theater Festival, Politik im Freien Theater). Turbo Pascal was awarded the George Tabori Prize in 2018.
