HYPERFORMANCE

In the organizer's words:

HYPERFORMANCE is a performative rebellion against old and new (work) structures and norms.

4 performers take on a completely digitized machine world. What will remain - the human factor, with its fallibility, its finiteness, its imagination and its flaming hearts.... Or will we have to surrender to the relentlessness of algorithms?

And, yes, of course it is also about survival strategies in times of exuberant lack of content.

"70 jam-packed minutes (...) gripping performance"
"The trio plunges into the turmoil on stage with virtuosity and vitality"
"played with ravishing comedy"
