In And Yet the Earth is Flat we are confronted with<br />
the technological future and possible consequences<br />
it entails. And the link to the present is obvious. We<br />
are already in this bright and flashing playground,<br />
where space and time get lost, a virtual world full of<br />
possibilities, anytime, anywhere... always.<br />
And Yet the Earth is Flat is a performance for young<br />
audiences (age 8+) about digital transformation,<br />
understanding the difference between illusion and<br />
reality and the need to form one’s own opinion. The<br />
four performers – Christina Aksoy, Waltraud Brauner,<br />
Raffaela Gras, Stefanie Sternig, called kollektiv<br />
kunststoff – developed the concept and choreography<br />
of the piece. The sounds come from Peter Plos, the<br />
virtual visual world from nita.<br />
“We wipe through galaxies and<br />
galeries, we surf on virtual waves<br />
through different worlds and<br />
select stories and faces. We zoom<br />
to the maximum, fly from level to<br />
level, snatch at tags, click beyond<br />
limits and finally get stuck on<br />
screens.”<br />
