NEXT LEVEL CONFERENCE - ENTER LOST LEVEL
03-04 DECEMBER 2015
Die polnische Künstlerin Jagoda Szmytka inszeniert eine musikszenische Performance auf Basis ihres transmedialen Projekts "LOST", einer brandaktuellen Kooperation des Festivals Warschauer Herbst mit dem ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe. Mit "ENTER LOST LEVEL" spürt Szmytka den Grenzverläufen zwischen Illusion und Realität, zwischen Leben und Kunst mit den Mitteln der Kunst weiter nach.
Was ist privat, was öffentlich? Was passiert on, was off Stage? Wer macht Kunst? Dabei agieren die Performer als multidimensionale Persönlichkeiten, die gar nicht mehr wissen, ob sie gerade theatrale Player oder Privatpersonen sind. Im POP UP Store (Ebene 4) können die Besucher eine 20-minutige Live-Performance des ENTER Collecthief erleben, ausserden Solo Performances die sich abwechseln mit theoretischen Diskurspassagen und vorproduzierten Soundsamples - alles in derektem Bezug zu bekannten Künstlern, Popstilen und Kunstwerken, die im Museum Ostwall im Dortmunder U zu sehen sind. In den Zeiten zwischen Performance und Diskurs können die Besucher LOST im nächsten Level erfahren. Sie können das Stück weiterspielen durch die LOST CHaraktere im LOST ARCADE Game, durch Verkleiden als LOST CHaraktere im Selfie Corner, durch Erstellen von LOST Spaces im LOST METHODE Game und schliesslich durch ihren eigenen Betrag in der DIY Station.
