Der Bau (Auschnitt)

In the organizer's words:

As part of the Festival of Performing Arts, disdance project gives a foretaste of its latest theater production DER BAU based on Franz Kafka, which premieres on 10.10.2024. DER BAU - multimedia theater based on Franz Kafka by disdance project A woman. Her bubbles. KI. You. Interactive. Multimedia. "I live in peace in the innermost part of my house, and meanwhile the enemy is slowly and silently boring in on me from somewhere." (Franz Kafka) Do we have to defend ourselves? Our values? Freedom? Seal ourselves off? Control them? A woman flees to her protective den. But is it really safe? Explore your self-certainties and the harmony of social bubbles with her. Live. Anonymously. With the smartphone. Ask yourself the question: Why does our need for security automatically lead to control - instead of trust and cooperation? Experience a fusion of your thoughts, Kafka's text, acting, dance, AI and video. A piece that makes your thoughts audible. disdance project stages Kafka's fragment interactively and multimedia-based and takes audience participation to a new level. The text is dynamically created anew in each performance - with the help of AI-generated emotional voice models. Is that Kafka? Or my neighbor? Is this live or did algorithms predict it? Am I sure? disdance project has been realizing interdisciplinary projects in the fields of dance, theater and video art in Cologne since 2003. In 2024, the video installation NACHTS after Kafka was created with the use of artificial intelligence. The production STÖRFALL was awarded the Kölner Kunstsalon Theaterpreis 2022, the production BRENNEN was nominated for the Kölner Theaterpreis 2023. Together with the former Cologne artistic director Hansgünther Heyme, the theatrical video installation HERAKLES was created in 2020/21.
