Turbo Pascal:
Selbstbeschwichtigung
Selbstbeschwichtigung
Loosely based on Peter Handke’s text Selbstbezichtigung (1965), Turbo Pascal collected confessions from citizens and contemporaries in 2016. Now the group is inviting all to a collective self-reassurance and is allowing for the Sophiensaele to turn into a public place of self-accusation. The group makes their way on a walk of repentance - talking, schlepping and shedding away the guilty feelings of all those present. The audience confesses, judges, talks freely or imposes appropriate probation charges.

TURBO PASCAL develops interactive performances that turn theater into an assembly and negotiation space for social processes, dynamics and utopias. In addition, the collective, which was founded in the context of the Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Practice study program in Hildesheim, realizes participatory projects with citizens or young people and conceives formats for conversation and communication. Since 2008, the collective has been based in Berlin and works continuously with Sophiensæle.
