How does digital transformation change our ideas and our images of bodies? The artistic positions of “Theatre of Things 2020” use hybrids, robots, puppets and their own skin to search for new forms of physicality.

Programme update: TDDdigital

Despite the renewed theatre closures, this year’s edition of the international festival of contemporary figure and object theatre will take place from November 3 to 10, 2020. Artists present projects on the theme of “Artificial Bodies” online, on the phone and as downloads. Workshops and exchange formats complement this special edition of the festival, which is suitable for lockdown.

There will also be a series of festival releases until the end of February 2021: It is planned to catch up on the productions “Wetware” and “Wax-En” as well as the installations created for Theater der Dinge 2020 at a later date.
