Oldenburg will receive a new meeting: Project Topia starts soon!

In Oldenburg something is really happening in the theater area! On October 8th and 11th, the Theater K invites you to two information meetings that invite the citizens to participate in an exciting new project: "Topia". This innovative project, which builds on the memories of missing places such as the Wall cinema, is intended to create a new meeting place that is all about the community. Mathilda Kochan, one of the those responsible for the theater, particularly emphasizes the positive aspects of the memories and emphasizes how important it is to incorporate them into the design of the new place. All interested parties, regardless of the origin or experience, are welcome to get involved - a previous experience in the theater is not necessary. For the information meetings that take place at 6 p.m. or 11 a.m. at Bahnhofstrasse 11, you can easily register by email ( theater-k@kulturetage.de ).

As also founded as part of the Newly founded citizens of Oldenburg, Bübü for short, the aim of the "Topia" project is to offer the city dwellers a platform. Here you can participate in documentary piece developments on socially relevant topics. The group tries to promote an impartial coexistence and to make residents an expert of their everyday life. The focus is not only on the participants, but also the viewers who can gain new perspectives on their own city due to the pieces created. The program is designed in such a way that a different topic and ensemble is treated every year. The extremely relevant topic "drink" is currently being dealt with in the 2023/2024 season.

Utopia as a concept in the theater

The term "utopia" plays a central role in what the theater K is planning. It is not just about shaping a new place, but also about the creation of a space that looks beyond the usual. The utopian concept created in the theater describes a vision of an ideal state - far from everyday concerns and norms. In a larger context, the examination of utopias is deepened by numerous contributions, such as in the volume "Utopia in theater, performance and action". This is about using theater as a space for changes and for reflection on social conditions. Aisthesis emphasizes that the scenic negotiations not only think of the future, but also transform this here and now into a place of possibilities.

In the course of developments at Theater K, the audience can also look forward to further exciting performances. From November 28th, "A Winter Tärchen" will be on the program, followed by "Miss Braun" in January and an inclusive theater project "Im Dark" in February. April is completed with "trapped society". The new orientation of the theater provides for a creative interaction between citizens and experienced theater makers and wants to bridge the gap between the audience and the actors.
