Performance & audio walk
It is an age-old dream of mankind: you walk through a gate and find yourself in a completely different place. A place where the laws of the bad, old world are suspended.
Just such a gate has now opened, albeit jealously guarded by its gatekeeper. Anyone who passes through it must be prepared to see Schwetzingen Palace Gardens with new eyes. Because the garden’s messages, which were understandable to earlier generations, no longer reach us today. The true meaning of the sculptures? Unusual sounds that were previously inaudible? The richness of the plants and their longing for connection? All this is revealed to the courageous audience, who embark on a short walk with the headphones handed out beforehand. – A speculative description of the future of mankind between utopia and downfall.
