Fusion of research and theater

"I ate the greening fruits of desire" Antonia Hoffmann sings a poem by Mascha Kaléko to the "Dance of Algorithms". Because problems of graph theory can be explained with words, but it becomes poetic when dancing with time complexity and search algorithms. Algorithms, computer-aided material design, mobility, ferroelectricity are just some of the research areas that collide with art in this evening with relish. They will be artistically explored by the protagonists together with an intergenerational ensemble.

This will pave new paths between art and science, conveying the action horizons and hopes of research - in a joint attempt by both institutions to explore the generative potential of theatrical science communication: How can we shape a future through good shared stories whose ground is in addressing the challenges of the present? Already on the walks between the venues, this discussion began among the audience members: "People meet here who have come for very different motives: Those who simply want to see theater, others attracted by the theme, still others who want to get to know their place of education or work in a new way. The questions posed in the performance and the strolling between the venues invites conversation already during the performance, which can be continued in the auditorium with a writing assignment and in the get-together after the performance," Nike-Marie Steinbach, director of the Volkstheater division, describes her experience during the premiere.
