Lighting design for a theatre piece


We create utopian facts – a transcultural mass meets the birth of a peaceful coexistence.

With Common Ground we bring what we have in common onto our sports mat. We mix up old rules and create a new game. Between minimalist movements, dramatic poses, joyful mat sliding, a musical crossover of Western and Middle Eastern sounds, we search for our common dreams.

Will this common ground keep us together or will it separate us? Is it a game – a true utopia? Or just a faded memory of our childhood days?
