20.10., 19:00 with Audio description (German)
With Faith Fiction, Turbo Pascal opens a laboratory for contemporary faith between techno club and temple, religious heritage, transcultural influences and spiritual science fiction. The performers of Turbo Pascal all experienced belonging to a monotheistic religion in their childhood. But none of them have spoken much about the subject in their adult lives – until now. In personal interviews, they talked to people from Berlin about inherited beliefs or non-beliefs and asked about demarcations, old remnants of faith and new search movements in religion. Excerpts from the conversations wander through the audience via mobile loudspeakers and tell of individual faith biographies or turn into a collective prayer choir.
The interactive performance invites you to reassemble ideas of God or death, spiritual practices and rituals, but also to ask questions about the limits of free faith creations.

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.
