„ES BRAUCHT DAS GANZE DORF…!“

The audience could be many co-players. If the ancient theatre lost the figure of the chorus, then perhaps that is where it lives today: in the audience.

On the initiative of the collective-collegial management of tak Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg, a group of about 20 artists living in Berlin – long-time Berlin artists and newly arrived (exiled) artists from Iran, Turkey, Ukraine, Israel, Syria, etc. – has formed under the hypothesis of an "artists' village of the many at Moritzplatz". The lab is the next stage of this network-building, in which they want to evaluate the audiences, communities and social structures that the artists bring with them.

The lab opens up two complementary perspectives in two events: Step one is a two-day digital-performative conference. In the "digital village meeting", all participating artists will exchange (best practice) experiences with digital participation and artistic possibilities of cutting together glocal realities and spaces: as translocal citizens in the "glocal village" of the present. In the second step, they turn the process around and invite you to a two-day village (lab) festival on site at the tak. In 1:1 encounters, interviews and a (post-)citizens' dinner, theyƒ will explore the question of what it can look like in the future and for whom it can be there in which forms/formats: The artist village of the many on Moritzplatz visited, animated, inhabited by many.
