Details

Conversation, Charisma and Chance Kontakt is a theatrical experiment that blurs the boundary between performer and audience. 20 performers, 20 audience members and 20 bridge tables, each lit by a single overhanging light bulb. What follows is a series of unique one-to-one encounters, which can include conversations, drawing, writing and sometimes dancing. Do you dare to make KONTAKT? How often does an adult sit across a table from a young person and have a meaningful conversation? Inspired by the work of German conceptualist Hannah Herzig, KONTAKT is a series of one-to-one performances with twenty young people ages 15 - 21. Each sits at a table with a single light bulb above and invites audience members to take a seat opposite them for a unique encounter.
