Ultrablau - Zentralwäscherei - Zürich

ULTRABLAU _Jonas Bernetta, Kaija Knauer, Selina Pfeiffer_ Between overly long summer afternoons, the sound of crickets and the shimmering heat, we become witnesses to a changing environment.

While the heat robs us of sleep, the world itself seems to be in turmoil. How do we navigate these changing conditions? In an atmospheric evening of theater, ultrablau explores the feeling when the ground beneath our feet begins to shake. The play development Ultrablau is the first joint work by Kaija Knauer, Selina Pfeiffer and Jonas Bernetta. From their starting point, their interest in strategies for staging and making the climate crisis tangible, they work with performative, documentary and multimedia approaches in search of a form that could perhaps be described as a theater essay.
