IMAGINE – WELT OHNE UNS | 8+

In the organizer's words:

A posthuman fantasy | co-production by ANALOG, COMEDIA and studiobühneköln | premiere 29.11.2025

What would a world without humans look like? A world that we are constantly rethinking. Beings and worlds arise and pass away in the storm of the tides. Time plays no role. Everything exists simultaneously, in parallel, reorganized, isolated and together.

ANALOG takes the advancing climate change as an opportunity to create a world beyond the usual logic of exploitation as an alternative concept to the dystopian now. Together with a children's and youth ensemble, ANALOG immerses the audience in a wondrous world of digital landscapes and atmospheres full of sounds in which we encounter other and new forms of life.

IMAGINE means coloring, overwriting, scratching down, painting over, destroying and creating anew. A joy in existence, a celebration of life.

A play for everyone aged 8 and over.
