In the organizer's words:

"Unwearable" is about clothes, ironing board bellies, authorities and the question: "How much is your outfit worth?" People cavort in piles of clothes, Adam and Eve argue and then there's that voice that tells you what you can and can't wear. With this new piece development, the roterfaden collective embarks on a collage-like search for the social functions of clothing, its significance for our identity and utopian places. The combination of their own and other people's texts, clear visual language and performative elements creates a partly absurd, partly analytical evening.

The roterfaden-kollektiv is a young theater collective based in the Ruhrpott. We see the theater as a playground for experimenting with utopias, both on stage, the space in which everything is possible, but also in our way of working, we want to try out and reflect on utopian ideas. This results in a non-hierarchical way of working, whose possibilities and limits, as well as effects on the artistic processes and results, we want to explore. The result is usually a fragmented mishmash of materials, images, texts, sounds, movements and a whirling confusion of curiosity, humor, reflection and glimmers of hope.
