"φeerroom"
Interactive hybrid space/time installation by the paranormal φeer group & friends
April 7-10, 2022, Spark Cologne Festival, Alte Feuerwache Köln
May 13-15, 2022, 49 Stunden Stimme X Festival, LICHTHOF Theater Hamburg
For the two newly founded festivals for contemporary music theater, SPARK Cologne and 49 Stunden Stimme X Hamburg, the paranormal φeer group is developing a "concept room", which will be free to visit during both festivals. The φeerroom is at once a spatial installation, an interactive sound space, a stage for spontaneous performances by paranormal φeers & friends, a workshop space, a live circuit center, and a place for encounters. As a link between the artistic and the theoretical festival programs, the installation thinks further about the emerging questions and discourses and enters into creative contact with them. The φeerroom thereby becomes a playful laboratory for various discourse formats, a lively rehearsal place for different approaches to what "(independent) music theater" can mean today, and last but not least ensures continuity between the two collaborating festivals.
"φeerroom" takes place in context of HK-X, supported by the Performing Arts Fund with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media within the framework of NEUSTART KULTUR.
