How can we live together?"

Shouldn't the oceans also have a voice in a parliament that thinks about the future? And the forests? And, taking this idea further, shouldn't gender equality also be represented in this parliament? The Parliament of Things is a project for the democratic participation of young people, based on the ideas of the French sociologist Bruno Latour. As a theatrical parliament in which scientists, activists, and actors make the decision-making processes of a democratic society tangible, it aims to spark curiosity about the upcoming transformations that the future demands of us as a society. Young people and young adults are invited to hear the voices of the forests and wetlands in the six sessions of the Parliament of Things and to vote on complex issues.

Parliament of Things

M*Halle, Schweri

"At the beginning of every performance, I always say, 'It doesn't matter at all, today I'm only going half speed.' And at some point, I open my eyes and realize I'm going full throttle, the sweat is just pouring down my face... and catharsis!"

The curtain rises, come what may. And hopefully, no one notices that quite a few things are going wrong in this comedy – and not just for the couple in the play. They've accidentally invited not only their good friend and her new partner to the dinner party, but also her ex-husband. Under no circumstances can the two of them meet. In a series of ludicrous actions, the couple tries to cover up the mishap and prevent disaster as best they can. But there's even more turmoil behind the scenes! Right at the beginning of the play, one of the actors simply can't remember his lines. He thought just moments ago that he was there to do some voice-over work...
