Chemnitz Utopia: Oedipus Utopia – Garage Campus

http://www.taupunkt-chemnitz.de

A powerful reinterpretation of the ancient myth that poses contemporary questions about utopia, democracy and the future. A co-production of the independent ensemble Laughing Beasts and the municipal Činoherní studio Ústí nad Labem.

Start: 19:00

Admission: 15,- Euro

Location: Garage Campus

A chilling crazy tragedy full of plague and humour. Defence of fine democracy

A production that asks where all the social utopias and emancipatory visions have disappeared to - and whether we haven't lost the future in the process. All this in the good old intertwining of the personal and the political, with oidipality, anti-oidipality and Hamlet moments - because what is the question here?

Who killed the Utopia? C the Unseen! Detective Oedipus will solve everything!

A co-production with the theatre group Laughing Beasts and Činoherní studio Ústí nad Labem.
