In theatre, all bodies are artificial. Actors invent new gestures, speak in meter, appear monstrous or angelic. In interaction with figures, things, and technologies, they form hybrid bodies. The props and sets also have bodies and make bodies appear alien.

How do artists invent new bodies? How do social body images affect the theatre? And what kind of artificial body would we actually like to have? Beate Absalon and Sebastian Köthe discuss these and other questions with artists of the festival. In the first block we talk with Friederike Schmidt-Colinet and Robert Läßig (The Schaubies) and Iris Meinhardt and Michael Krauss (Meinhardt & Krauss) about "Robots and Algorithms," in the second block with Nina Malotta & Samuel Hof (O-Team) and Xavier Bobés about "Ecstasy and Objectification."
