Description
An interactive listening experience for everyone aged 8 and over
A co-production with the Fabriktheater der Rote Fabrik Zürich, the Theater Chur, the Theater im GZ Buchegg and with the support of the Fundaziun Nairs
The forest is always there. Compared to it, we are small and short-lived – it is vast and imposing, and it amazes us. In the forest, the trees are connected to one another via enormous underground networks, through which they not only communicate but also feed each other or warn of danger. Through them, we understand how vital connection is. We must reflect on how we humans are connected to nature. This way, we can no longer ignore that the threat to nature also becomes a threat to ourselves. The forest thus also represents nature, which is as powerful as it is vulnerable and is enormously endangered by climate change.
The forest comes into the theater, and we are in the middle of it
« Forest » is an immersive theater experience for ages 8 and up, designed as an interactive performance in which participants find themselves in the middle of a shared space. We want to explore and experience how we are part of this wild, this monstrous natural world. We ask ourselves: How am I responsible for this nature of which I am a part? Wearing headphones, the audience experiences a multifaceted journey: interviews and the voices of various people alternate with narratives and playful experiential and quiz elements. The performance space, the « Forest Room, » invites you to feel, discover, smell, and listen.
