Super Collider

Laser pointers write Game Over in the sky. The performers from Showcase Beat Le Mot don't want to waste electricity on apocalyptic resignation, but rather expand the scope of discourse to include the universe. In their new piece, they therefore send danced messages and mumbled formulas to the fringes of the universe. The antennas for extraterrestrial messages are switched from receiving to transmitting. This is not a documentary theater about the power of a swollen reality, but an experimental set-up that functions like a utopian catapult. The stage design is the message, the audience is the tube amplifier. Space acts instead of fake acts. Always along the trouble. Welcome to the half-truth about everything.

Review

„....despite their current lack of form: Super Collider illuminates what makes Showcase Beat Le Mot one of the most important theater troupes: thinking as experience. The breaking of convention. Experimentation. The super collision. ...“
