The Automatic Theatre – A Performance
Saturday, June 5th, 2010
7:30 pm entrance - 8:00 pm (sharp) start
The Automatic Theatre is a temporary collective of artists, who have jointly developed a one off evening of performance at .HBC.
The performance, a collage of single contributions as well as collaborations between the participating artists. All parts will finally be structured to a continuation of scenes. They will remain autonomous in content and style, such as narration, costumes, stage design and music. Together they will tell a fragmented story, readable only in retrospect.
The concept for the show, inspired by strategies such as "L'écriture automatique" * (DADA / Surrealism), which aims at replacing fictive storytelling by following immediate ideas. It is believed to achieve high authenticity, with the side effect of high absurdity.
The Automatic Theatre – A Performance is the second collective performance of it’s kind. It follows Fever of Unknown Origin. An incorrigible Opera, staged at Basso Berlin in July 2009. Both projects were initiatives of the artist Lisa Jugert.
The Automatic Theatre are:
Katie Conxita, Raul De Nieves, Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez, Justine Electra, Linda Franke, Tina Franke, Hook Hagenie, Beatrice Jugert, Lisa Jugert, Yana K.M, Katja Kollowa, Grit Lindau, Caroline Meyer-Picard, Anna Mields, Karl Mields, Reinhard Mields, Maximilian Moll

Energy Transformations
08 - 12 . 06. 2010
Francois Dumas, Olivier Lellouche, Clemence Seilles and Victoria Wilmotte come together by way of a strong flow of shared experiences and friendships to produce the exhibition 'Salon de Meubles'. So what could seem as an energy efficiency that even the found title could suggest, it is by no means a group manifesto. 'Salon de Meubles' is rather a set of organic, individual and potentially divergent discussions for dealing with the constructed environment that could be characterized by their energy transformations. From the individual classicism of Wilmotte, the alternative of Dumas, the anarchic of Lellouche and the sublime of Seilles, something other than a dialectic is produced, a flowing discussion that does not create opposition but rather the idea that anything is possible, a series of contemporary experiments that are as much as they are and therefore very much.
