"The astronaut"
Performance
(Waschhaus boiler house)

The Kesselhaus of the Waschhaus becomes the Fiat lux spaceship in which the astronaut (Franziska Melzer) has been traveling alone with the on-board computer Hitch (Hannes Schumacher) for years. Her vehicle is equipped with futuristic tools such as LED lighting, black light and video. Playing with effects is intended to create the desired tension between the fairytale-like and the absurd. Almost a theatrical version of Michel Gondry's cinema.

"Die Astronautin" is a co-production of the Oxymoron Dance Company / Waschhaus Potsdam and the Hans Otto Theater Potsdam.

Performances: 7 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm
