CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Missverständnisse
A Playshop & Performance Experiment with Marie Hahne & Gordon Evans
November 2026
Missverständnisse (Eng. "misunderstandings") begins as a participatory playshop and transforms into a public performance. Together we explore the artistic and poetic potential of misunderstandings. We explore how misunderstanding may not be the end of dialogue, but the beginning of a new and unfolding way of communication. By working across languages, cultures, experiences, and beliefs, the project embraces misunderstanding as creative material, opening space for new forms of rhythm, connection, and exchange. Rather than trying to avoid misunderstandings, we put them in the spotlight. All information and registration here.
