Widergänge VIII - Workshop puppet theater
Anyone who has ever watched a puppet theater performance has been witness to

French sociologist Bruno Latour picked up on this meaning when he spoke of a "parliament of things" - an assembly in which non-human actors also have power and the ability to act. We have already explored what it means when things act, speak and argue in our last three "zwischen/dingen"
tried out: First, the objects we brought along became comic figures, then actors in photo love stories and finally actors in stop-motion movies. This time, we want to use puppet theater to help the things you bring along come to life.
Both participants from previous attempts and newcomers are very welcome.
