In the organizer's words:

AUDIOWALK
Atopic city explorations with JAJAJA
From 18 years

The St. Georg station district is a mosaic of confusing colors, stories and social systems in a small space. High-priced and disreputable, crash site and drug district, commercial center and tourist zone, AI surveillance laboratory, bishop's seat, gay stronghold, bazaar and tea room, cosmopolitan city on Steindamm, village in the backyard and recreational area with lake.

Arvild J. Baud and Iris Minich, as the JAJAJA collective, have been making poetic musical city tours in a special live radio format since 2018, which is made up of spontaneous interviews, sounds and pre-produced fragments and changes the travel group's view of what they see via headphones. As people who are curious about the place, they take us on an artistic walk through a neighborhood that absorbs all urban conflicts and therefore opens up generous spaces for unlikely connections, inspiring changes of perspective and radical tenderness for the future.

Iris Minich has worked as an actress and performer in many theaters (including with D. Gotscheff / F. Castorf / M. Gintersdorfer), art and educational institutions and for radio plays, TV and film.

Arvild J. Baud is a musician and performance artist. He works a lot as a sound artist in the theater, at the SchauSpielHaus with Karin Henkel and Stefan Kaegi, among others.

Since 2009, they have been developing their "Atopic* Theater" collectively as JAJAJA - which keeps their audience on the move with performance formats that are always "in the making".

*Atopia - from the ancient Greek: "atopos" - placeless, different. A word to welcome spaces, processes, states and atmospheres that cannot be explained or categorized (such as love) and thus elude logical language, and at the same time a philosophical commitment to Socrates, the first atopist known to us.

NOTES ON THE AUDIOWALK:

We recommend sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing.

As we are outside the theater, this audio walk is unfortunately not barrier-free, which we deeply regret.

Participation is only possible from the age of 18 and exclusively at your own risk; express consent is required, which we will obtain from you before the start. Some performances are filmed or photographed for documentation purposes.

In the event of very heavy rain, the tour cannot take place for technical reasons, but will be rescheduled if possible. In this case, your tickets will of course be refunded.

The texts and quotes come from the Denkmalverein Hamburg, Michel Foucault, Byung Chul Han, Iris Minich, Peggy Parnass, Mika Parting, Carl von Ossietzky and Inge Stolten
