Warten auf die Barbaren

Admission every 10 minutes, 60 minutes duration / limited number of available seats, registration necessary

  • Performance

Dominic Huber is setting up an imaginary border station made from temporary and mobile housing. The inspiration for the interactive installation is the novel “Waiting for the Barbarians”, in which J.M. Coetzee creates a Kafkaesque world in an unspecified time. Visitors are led through the station one after the other – and meet up with the bizarre inhabitants and other border crossers, resulting in an encounter with the stranger opposite and the other in oneself.

Production: blendwerk Gmbh. Coproduction: Gessnerallee Zürich und PRAIRIE, the Migros Cultural Percent  co-production porgramme with innovative Swiss theatre groups.

Supported by: Stadt Zürich Kultur, Pro Helvetia / Schweizer Kulturstiftung, Kanton Zürich Fachstelle Kultur, Migros Kulturprozent, Georges und Jenny Bloch-Stiftung, Dr. Adolf Streuli-Stiftung.
