Landschaftszeiten (Landscape Times)
A Sunday outing/ritual trail in four stages
By bike and on foot, exploring Sorbian traditions, an open-cast mine outcrop, the plans for a vast ‘Karl May Land’, and venturing into the realm of fantastical and speculative phenomena – a trail of a very special kind in the former open-cast mining landscape.
A theatrical, installation-based journey through time on the edge of a landslide.
Featuring: Birgit Pattoka, Joachim Pawlitzki, Walburga Walde, Bernadette La Hengst and the Chor der Statistik, Claudia Wiedemer, Stephan Kaasche and the artists of the Neues Großes Landschaftstheater

BAUSTELLEN DES ANTHROPOZÄNS
(Construction sites of the Anthropocene)
Berlin/Lausitz 2021,
#TakeCare-Recherche-Stipendium des Fonds Darstellende Künste
We looked at the worldwide examples of large-scale devastation caused by fossil fuel exploitation. We discovered that these most severe interventions in existing landscape and cultural areas are exemplary of the dangers and challenges of the man-made world of the Anthropocene.

A recultivation research
Lausitz 2020,
funded by Reload-Stipendium der Bundeskulturstiftung
With the research, we explored the open pit mining landscapes of the Eastgerman Lausitz as laboratories for new forms of aesthetic and social observation. How can we scale "Europe's largest landscape construction site" as a source of experience in scene and "play"?

In the first RECHERCHEPRAXIS project, we played with a Berlin-Off-Theatre, how it markets its cultural capital in order to ensure its own survival. 75 sleeping places spread over six floors could be booked via the web portal. The theatrical-installation parcours led through the whole house on different routes.
