based on the novel by Ursula K. Le Guin
Zwinger 1
[recommended for ages 16 and up]
Published in 1985 under the title »Always coming home«, science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin creates her own world set in an undefined future in California. The Kesh are the survivors of a disaster and while they have modern technology, they only use it insofar as it serves their modest lifestyle. Set up as an anthropological project of a futuristic archaeology, »Always coming home« is a unique collection of lost items: Poem and drama, myth and song interwoven to form a convincing vision.
For the collective F. Wiesel, it’s their third performance at Theater und Orchester Heidelberg after »Restworld« and »Die gleißende Welt« (The blazing world). Their works are shaped by influences from object theatre in combination with digital storytelling strategies and intersectional perspectives on science-fiction.
The production of the decorative parts is carried out in the workshops of the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg.
