Theater happens at all times, wherever you are, art just makes it easier to believe that this is the case. John Cage

A project in public space in cooperation with Theater Freiburg/ORBIT and Arved Schulz

Residents of a small town are invited to observe a random hour indicated on a theater ticket as if everything they experience during this time were staged - as if they were in the theater. The observations of all the hours, which are spread over an entire month, provide the material for a play that will be shown at the municipal theater.

Daily reality becomes a “performance” and the city becomes a permanent stage for a month. Theater tickets will be sold for individual daytime hours during this month. Ticket holders will experience their “performance” during the hour printed on the ticket - not in the theater hall, but in the place where they happen to be at that hour. The resulting observations form the source material for a play.

Reflection on the real and the theatrical, on fiction, construction and the interwoven nature of our daily lives could be stimulated in a new way. We consider the collected observations to be a contemporary document that should be donated to the city archive.
