Twelve students from the UdK's Master's degree programme in Theatre Education present their interdisciplinary final projects: Performances, rituals, mobile pieces, music theatre, audio performance and exhibition.
Since October 2024, projects have been tested with actors from different communities and identities. Primary school children join dancers, actors and aloe vera to explore the figure of Gaia and the future in times of climate crisis. An immersive performance immerses the audience in stories and practices of resistance and the transformation of vulnerability into collective strength. A mobile performance tests questions and experiments for collective courage for change. MOTHER* challenges idealised and normative images of motherhood in a performative and biographical way. The work SHAME ON is an attempt to be shamelessly ashamed together. In dialogue with the 'white sheet', the performers cautiously stick their heads through the wall and, equipped with a variety of papers, devote themselves to the theme of beginnings. Another transgenerative project works through the biographical experiences of the covid pandemic in a ritual. In a concert performance, musicians and composers explore the process of looping in music and cultural history. The audio performance FLUID expands the social negotiation space and evokes absurdities. Over four days, DOCK ART celebrates the confluence of ideas and collaboration between generations, disciplines and cultures, and invites the audience to join in.
