Impossible Conversation on Contact. A conversation inspired by a Jesuit method in which you slow down and connect personal images by writing, reading and speaking together.

Every Wednesday for seven weeks, we work with a group of students from DAMU in Prague on “distant dramaturgy and performance” to investigate how we can have performative interaction from a distance.

For this evening we are looking for people who want to participate in Distant Thoughts; a conversation for 2 with a student from Prague.

DYING TOGETHER is a mental exercise in physical form in which performers, together with the audience, examine and disentangle situations involving collective dying. Over recent years the performance has been developed and staged in various places in Europe and turns its attention to contemporary situations in which large groups of people, animals and even ecosystems die. In autumn 2020 it will be followed by the (unexpected) third part: DYING TOGETHER / Futures, which is devoted entirely to the impact of Covid 19 on the world we live in.

DYING TOGETHER / Futures focuses on the current pandemic, in which it is not only people and animals that die, but also visions of the future. In the performance, a group of 20 to 40 people is invited to reflect collectively on the times we are living in. The script is flexible, close to current events and open to everything that presents itself. DYING TOGETHER / Futures is both an intense experience and an enlightening mental experience in which you become aware of the many connections and alliances that already exist between us. By constantly casting the present situation and the past few months in a new light, it becomes palpable that this moment of collective dying first and foremost tells us something about the way we relate to each other while living.

In 2015, Cinéma Imaginaire by Lotte van den Berg premiered; a performance made by spectators who are challenged to make an imaginary film that will only exist in their heads. An invitation to experience reality in an unusual way and to look for new perspectives. Suddenly, without anyone noticing, reality turns into fiction.

Two years ago we made an Italian version of the work together with Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini. It can be seen again at So Far So Close Festival in Matera, Italy.

During Digital Silence the participants play with their own presence and absence, in their rooms and on the web. Looking for a third space, a hybrith space, that is both physical and virtual. ‘Where am I if I’m both in my room and on the screen? And where are you?’ Digital Silence connects rooms and people in one big multidimensional apartment block, floating between bricks and pixels, neither present nor absent.

In Distant Thoughts you are invited to take a close look at the contact you enter into with people you don’t know. It is a telephone conversation for two people who do not know each other. You follow a script in which some of the text is predetermined but which mainly leaves a lot of room for your own words and thoughts. The script gives you something to hold onto, but also challenges you. This is an unusual encounter between strangers.

With Metropolis, we focus on the future. The impossible, uncertain future that is difficult to talk about. In this corona situation, many questions are asked about the way we have organised ourselves in society.

For Metropolis, Building Conversation is a natural and necessary follow-up on the experiences from this summer’s 100-day walking project Wa(l)king Copenhagen, where 100 artists have studied the condition of the city and its inhabitants during this special time. With these experiences in the bag, it is now time to look ahead. How do we create the future? What alternatives can we imagine?

The art space is a place where one can think freely and experiment. Reflect and reform. Thus, with Building Conversation in Copenhagen, we want to create a think tank for those of you who wish to rethink the structures of society and create new perspectives for the future.

White people can and must talk about racism embedded in the societies they live in. But how do you acknowledge and look at your own perspectives and positions? For Impossible Conversation on White Privilege we use a conversational method developed to talk about difficult topics from personal experiences. It involves slowing down with each other and linking together personal experiences by writing, reading and talking. This week we use this method to speak up, share and educate ourselves. The conversation is open for everybody who wishes to join. Contributing to the white homework that needs to be done. In solidarity to the anti-racism protest that followed the death of George Floyd.
