Music theater project with surtitles in Arabic, English, German

What if we could raise a child exclusively in a virtual world? What if care, closeness and parenthood were no longer tied to a body?
Wunschkind is a music theater project that combines new music, dance and augmented/virtual reality and opens up a space in which hope and discomfort, longing and alienation meet.

The production leads the audience into a world that reflects our present and at the same time asserts a future - in which analog and digital realities meet even more directly - full of friction, ambivalence and new possibilities.
The focus is on the role of artificial intelligence in social life: What opportunities does it open up - and what is lost when care and transience disappear? Wunschkind invites you not only to think about these questions, but to experience them first-hand.

Barriers

We strive to minimize barriers: The meta-glasses can be individually adapted (including your own glasses), there are breaks to set them down. The play lasts approx. 50 minutes in total. Translations in Arabic, English or German appear in the glasses as required. It is also possible to have a picture-only version without subtitles. Early access to the room is possible (early boarding). There is full wheelchair access - unfortunately only the toilets in the building are not barrier-free.
