Feuerland is a performance without performers – or is it? For over 90 minutes, the audience sees nothing but three black boxes on stage, playing with the essence of fiction and credibility. And yet, they experience and learn so much from and with the "protagonists" that the boxes become their own characters.
Feuerland negotiates the black box as a space for imagination - the boxes are almost self-reflexive in terms of their own nature as black boxes, in which anything can be imagined. Starting from the probable, they try to convince the audience of the improbable: they entertain them, tell them stories, give a concert and finally hold a conversation with the audience. Throughout the entire performance, it remains unclear whether there are performers or just speakers inside the boxes.
Feuerland is a poetic performance that plays with the mechanisms of anthropomorphism and demonstrates how fictions unfold, creating real possibilities beyond the black box and establishing themselves.
