In a monologue, Lulu Obermayer celebrates the radical artistic practice of Broadway dancer, choreographer and painter Marta Becket, who discovered an abandoned theater in Death Valley Junction in the Mojave Desert in 1967. On the spot she quit her life on the road and opened the Amargosa Opera House in the desert, where she lived and worked until her death in 2017. Just as Marta Becket painted her audience in the Amargosa Opera House on the wall, Lulu Obermayer plays with the audience, light and shadow and tells a story of ghosts, time and devotion. A mirage arises in which the theater, dreams and fate become blurred. In a ghostly duet, the planetary constellations overlap and reflect on the (im)possibility of an artistic life. The performance reminds us of the potential of theater and stage as a mirror of life, as a place of collective remembrance and goodbye.
There will be a follow-up discussion with Franziska Werner at 21:30.

biographies
Lulu Obermayer's artistic practice operates at the interface of opera, performance and theater and uses the European canon as a point of friction. After studying acting in New York and dramaturgy in Leipzig, Obermayer completed her bachelor's degree in Contemporary Performance Practice at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She then completed her master's degree in Solo Dance and Authorship at the HZT in Berlin. Her performances have been presented at various international venues and festivals, including Steirischer Herbst (Graz), Theater Neumarkt (Zurich), DeSingel (Antwerp), Sophiensaele (Berlin) and HochX (Munich).

„...power for the people: use your body... use your voice... make a choice...“
Cheerleading codes, familiar from sporting events, are both employed and subverted in this dance piece to convey unique messages. Glamour, glitter, and an eclectic mix of slogans create a joyful and ironic alternative to traditional forms of protest. Radical Cheerleading poses the question: what causes are worth taking to the streets for?Tickets

What if human bodies could be used to generate energy? This raises critical questions about which bodies are considered "usable" under this paradigm and which are not. The immersive performance Blackouts explores these issues by transforming visitors into a collective human power plant, blending party and capitalism into a complex narrative. Is this a solution to the climate crisis or merely a new form of exploitation? Are you a cog in the machine or the sand that grinds it to a halt?
