supersocial

“supersocial” is a participatory performance of social choreography which examines how social environments influence the formation of free will and staying true to it. Will we stand by these beliefs under social pressure or not? Are the things we believe in when being home alone the same as the ones we find to be true in a larger social setting? How is this influenced by physical distancing? And most importantly, what is worth compromising and how is the current health of our democracy?

The performance creates a pleasant open environment while taking into account the current distancing rules. All participants get to form and define their views on current political and social issues and create a position for themselves with their opinions and actions. “supersocial” provides an opportunity for everyone to become their own social superhero, saving the world just as much as they wish, can or are bothered. Nobody is forced to do anything but on the other hand, nothing will happen if no one takes action.

Every show will take place in a different venue.
Shows are free of charge, preregistration is required!
