The Night of Wishes
by Michael Ende
Der satanarchäolügenialkohöllische WUNSCHPUNSCH
Press commentary: ‘At the Großes Haus in Oberhausen, Michael Ende’s witchy villains are hilariously funny and the two animal heroes are cuddly
likeable.
This ensemble at the Oberhausen theatre must even be
of an ingenious punch (without the other evil prefixes)
themselves: So lively, sparkling with ideas and animalistic joy of playing
Ingrid Gündisch’s production based on Michael Ende’s ‘The
Satanarchaeolügenialkohöllische Wunschpunsch’. The sold-out
thunderous applause in the sold-out theatre – as if Puss and Raven had
had actually just saved the world[…]’

two gentlemen from real madrid
by Leo Meier
World Premiere: 15 January 2023 at Theater Oberhausen, Germany
Trailer: Video
Info: two gentelman from real madrid
Director: Maike Bouschen
Stage & Costumes: Franziska Isensee
Music: Lutz Gallmeister
Dramaturgy: Jascha Fendel
with: Tim Weckenbrock, Khalil Aassy, Samia Dauenhauer, Franziska Roth, Elias Baumann
Press commentary: The World Cup is over, but the best match has only just kicked off. In Leo Meier’s successful grass sports romance, the storm asks the midfield: “May I kiss you?” Coach and pastor also play fair play, and world premiere director Maike Bouschen finds the appropriate images. […] They are classily complemented with very lively, funny light and sound effects that pop and squeak, in the sound of a 1960s TV quiz show. This goes well with the candy-coloured costumes (with “men’s” logo, like the whole design in general) and thus comments whimsically on the often burlesque action. […]

Press comment:
“[…] soundscapes and offstage texts (sound design: Lutz Gallmeister) conjure up a ghostly atmosphere in which the epic-surreal production thrives with suspense.”
Neue Presse Coburg / Dieter Ungelenk / 09.12. 2019
he inner conformity and moral cowardice corresponds to the ritualised theatre of movement with which the director exaggerates many scenes, condenses them (with the choreographic participation of Lean Fargel). The almost dance-like impetus exposes the mental attitudes in the physical postures. Aesthetically and intellectually reflective, this is extremely gripping, and is further atmospherically driven by oppressive sound (sound design by Lutz Gallmeister).

[a] An exploration of human rights in transboundary languages
The project [a] critically examines the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). In a dialogue that transcends languages, countries, and artistic disciplines, the international team examines both the unifying aspects of human rights and the problems they pose.
The project [a] takes the Human Rights Day as an opportunity for its artistic and multi-perspective reconsideration.
Artists from different countries – from both the global south and the global north – create a cross-border dialogue with the artistic media of sound, video, and dance. The sound and video installation uses the UDHR as its text and language material.

PAPIEЯ working in progress
CREATOR AND PERFORMER: Carolina Figueiredo
SOUND ARTIST: Lutz Gallmeister
PAPIEЯ is a multi-disciplinary work from the brazilian artist Carolina Figueiredo and the german musician Lutz Gallmeister, which delves into the investigation of paper as an excuse to question current progress, its consequences on Latin American culture and where we are headed as humanity. A body that can be many, between folds and shadows, plays with the limits of reality and the memory of a poetic dream. In a constant movement backwards where the sound waves generate chaos in a paper installation that multiplies and disappears, between indefinite flashes of a reality that almost is. The error appears as an inaccuracy crack, as a slip of the trade bringing us back to a reality dominated by icons and digital presence. Until the borders of the media disappear and the body plays at being manifest with words. And the purity of a translucent image reveals a body that can be seen in a carousel of memories and memories that walk towards a now.
A pendulum where art travels between the lyrical and the mundane – speaking of its own mistake – as an excuse to bring us back to the present, more awake and more aware. The work will combine movement, music, performative writing, live music, video projection and an installation with papers that serve as visual art element.

CREATOR AND PERFORMER: Carolina Figueiredo

FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL PRISMA – March 2021
Teatro Nacional de Panamá – July 2021
Festival La Machine – Costa Rica – March 2023
A conversation between video art, dance, music and architecture
t hat questions the current idea of progress.
t.ejer is a verb in lowercase, like a subtle look at our living spaces,
made of concrete and at the same time in constant deconstruction -
both external and internal – that offers a look at the constant
construction of ruins, through a dialogue with the female body.

This video was recorded at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport – after almost 15 years of planning, construction began in 2006. Originally planned to open in October 2011, the airport has experienced a series of delays and cost overruns. This was due to poor planning of construction, execution, administration and corruption. The space is currently intact and abandoned. Performance by: Carolina Figueiredo, Video by: Fernanda Aloi, Music by: Lutz Gallmeister
