Works of science fiction give us an insight into a future civilization by telling the adventures of one of its individual inhabitants. Some use for your broken clay pots, on the contrary, provides us with the code that rules the life of the society it imagines.
Meanwhile, is a work about bodies, architectures, and disasters. The performers are evolving in a set that could be an architectural model or installation.

Gallop (Biography of a Body) tells the bizarre story of the life cycle of a body. It is a chronically ill body that has reached a turning point after forty years, and often seems to have a life of its own. Its service fails and resistance loses.
Oh Magic wanders through the wonders of theatrical magic. It is that mysterious unnamable thing we sometimes have the chance to encounter in a piece. But, where does it come from and where does it take us? What fascinates us as a performer or as a spectator? Somewhere between freak and fascination, Simon Mayer and his performers seek for the answers both in technological manipulation and organic oracles.

Can the money we all use on a daily basis, be held responsible for the disastrous state the world is in today? In other words, if it is true that “money rules the world”, are we then not entitled to make it accountable for what has happened to the world under its governance? Trials of Money approaches this somewhat candid statement with the seriousness of a court of justice.

Verein zur Aufhebung des Notwendigen is a dinner and it is about democracy. Not democracy as institutional engineering for mass organisation, but democracy as something we internalize, as individuals, at the level of our day to day existence. It is about democracy as the realisation of our individual and collective desires.

The project consists of every single as well as all variations together.

There are senders and receivers and there is an audience too.
There is “belief” and there is “make belief” and there is “magic” too.
We create the magic by creating the rules for it to happen.

Like an “Experimental Magic” without magicians.
