Today we are going to have a look at the body as a temple, - an architecture, into possibilities to convict concrete at court. We will look at Magma as the evolutionary source of life and algae and it’s microbial components. Come and get some shots for the guts and probiotic treatments! Looking forward to see you.

Introducing: Kathrin Hahner
“Weaving the Water”
Participatory Performance
Thursday, 22.09.2022, 18:30 - 19:00 Uhr
In English

Water flows through human and non-human bodies, through and over minerals, turns from ocean to steam to rain to snow, sinks into the soil again, to decompose and all of this yet to rise again. In Kathrin Hahner's a participatory live session the audience is asked to bring a small glass jar full of water, from a river, from their tap, from a lake. „when in doubt, go to water“

Katrin Hahner works in the fields of music, visual art and performance. She is a member of the research groups „A_Collective_I“ and „Quest“. Her projects and collaborations have been presented or co-funded by Pact Zollverein, Mondriaan Funds, Initiative Musik, Goethe Institut, Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Europa Berlin, Musikfonds, Tanzpakt and Musicboard.

“This is a volcanic rock called Michelnauer Tuff. A red basalt rock that came from the Michelnauer Quarry in Vogelsberg, the largest continual Volcano in Central Europe active 15 million years ago".

Introducing: Lydia Goehr & Dehlia Hannah, TAH artistic directors
Staging the Futurity of Art and Nature - Talk
Thursday, 22.09.2022, 19:00 - 20:30 Uhr
The talk will be held in English

The philosophers Lydia Goehr and Dehlia Hannah will discuss the activation of the theater’s architecture, materiality, and environmental context in relation to the concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk. Together with theater director Thorleifur Örn Arnarsson and visual artist Anna Rún Tryggvadóttir, the dialogue will elaborate the possibilities for theater as the show-place of more-than-human spirits.

Lydia Goehr, Ph.D., is Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University. She is the author of The Imaginary Museum of Musical Works: An Essay in the Philosophy of Music (1992); The Quest for Voice: Music, Politics, and the Limits of Philosophy [essays on Richard Wagner] (1998); Elective Affinities: Musical Essays on the History of Aesthetic Theory (2008), and co-editor of The Don Giovanni Moment. Essays on the legacy of an Opera (2006) and Red Sea-Red Square-Red Thread. A Philosophical Detective Story (2021). Her research focuses on German aesthetic theory and the relationship between philosophy, politics, history, and music.

Dehlia Hannah, Ph.D., is a curator and philosopher of nature and currently Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen, where her project Rewilding the Museum (2021–2025) examines the art museum’s status within the fragile ecologies of the Anthropocene. She is the editor of A Year Without a Winter (Columbia Books on Architecture and the City, 2018), a transdisciplinary investigation of contemporary imaginaries of climate change, Julius von Bismarck—Talking to Thunder (2019), Julian Charrière—Toward No Earthly Pole (2020), and the Routledge Handbook of Art and Science and Technology Studies (2021). www.dehliahannah.com

Introducing copper: “If you move to the central window on the second floor of the foyer and peek through the curtains you will see a copper lined overhang that protects the entrance from rain and sun. Copper is a soft metal easy to manipulate and can be hammered and bent into shape.”

installation and audio work is open until the 24th of September in the foyer of the , Monday-Saturday from 12:00-18:00. Everyone is welcome!

Introducing: CoLab Community Labor e.V. Kassel
Algae - nuisance and nutrient
Interactive Laboratory
Sunday, 18.09.2022 15:30 - 17:30 Uhr

We encounter algae repeatedly in everyday life. Especially in the summer, the bathing lakes are often closed when algae multiply and entire ecosystems topple over. But they also serve as a valuable food source. The secrets that spirulina, for example, holds can be explored for yourself under the microscope. The Community Laboratory will test with and in front of visitors that algae are also colourful and tasty in foods.

The CoLab Community Labor e.V. was founded in Kassel in 2020. With their association, they want to advance science communication in which citizens and scientists enter into a dialogue. Their innovative and playful formats range from scivival kits on the topic of plastics or algae to the organisation of science quizzes and interactive workshops to direct communication with expert scientists. www.colab-germany.de/pop-up-labor

The programme has been going through microbial updates! Please find the new version here! Looking forward to see you in Kassel!

The TAH programme continues in its final week on 17, 18 and 22 September 2022 in the foyer of the Staatstheater Kassel. As in times when the theatre was also a meeting place for society, this aspect of the project is intended to encourage people to come together. In a series of events organised in collaboration with the University of Kassel and Scientists for Future, interested visitors and citizens of Kassel will come together with artists and scientists.

How have narratives inscribed themselves into architectures, archives and our languages? Do myths and culture have an influence on physical processes, on biochemistry? Invited by the curator Carola Uehlken the visual artists Eli Cortinas, Susanne Kriemann, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Lola Göller, Riina Hannula, Egill Saebjörnsson, Kasia Fudakowski and Philipp Modersohn address the absurdities of the administration of life and the temples of our time. The Community Labor e.V. Kassel will offer us microscopic insights into the future of the food industry, while probiotic drinks will be served to stimulate the brain-gut axis of the visitors inside. The programme will end with the Science Slam organised by the University of Kassel in the frame of the Science Year 2022.

On 22 September 2022 Lydia Goehr, Dehlia Hannah and the TAH artistic directors will debate transdisciplinary practices. You are cordially invited to join the program and the Finissage of theProject Temple of Alternative Histories at Staatstheater Kassel.

All events take place in the Opera Foyer of Staatstheater Kassel.

The admission is free.
