A traditional festival of avant-garde presents playwright Fritz Kater who takes a profound, evil and comical look at the dependency structures of everyday office life, New York’s off-scene star Richard Maxwell who portrays our Western society in the form of a paranoid surveillance company and Belgian choreographer Alain Platel Wolf who presents his latest work vsprs, demonstrating how bodies and souls get out of control, socially disciplined and mutilated – with the assistance of the outstanding dancers and performers of C. de la B. Oh, and it is also about Open Source Software.
Many others will participate as well, including the Norwegian Verdensteatret, Georg Nussbaumer’s unusual composition and installation Schwerefeld mit Luftabdrücken and the Northern Irish artist Stephen Craigh.
