Der Volleksbühn hiren neie Projet De Bësch ass eng immersiv Outdoor Experienz, en Hybrid tëscht Nuetsrallye an Theaterstéck. D’Welt an déi mer andauchen ass labber inspiréiert vu Lord of the Flies an The Matrix a schéckt d’ZuschauerInnen op eng sënnlech a verspillte Reess, di grouss metaphysesch Themen, déi d’Mënschheet schonn ëmmer beschäftegt hunn an déi haut méi aktuell si wi je, ze exploréieren: Wat ass Wourecht? A wéienger Realitéit wëlle mer liewen? Gëtt et e fräie Wëllen oder ass Choix just eng Illusioun?
De Bësch erzielt keng Geschicht am klassesche Sënn, mat Ufank, Héichpunkt an Enn. D’ZuschauerInne gi vill méi Deel vun engem fiktive, mee tactille Microcosmos, dee si op ege Fauscht exploréiere kënnen. Si dauche voll an d’Welt vum Bësch an a gi, jidderee fir sech an a sengem Tempo, Spueren no, begéine Personnagen, déi se vlait an e Geheimnis aweien, kënnen hir Entdeckungen mat aneren deelen a si mat deenen nämlechte Froe konfrontéiert, wéi d’Personnagen.
Volleksbühn’s new project De Bësch (The Forest) is an immersive outdoor experience, a hybrid between a scavenger hunt and a theatre play. The world we dive into is loosely inspired by Lord of the Flies and The Matrix and sends the audience on a quest to sensually explore the big metaphysical themes that have always preoccupied humanity and that have become more pressing today than ever: What is truth? What reality do we want to live in? Do we really have free will or is choice just a mere illusion?
De Bësch does not tell a story in the classical sense, with a beginning, middle and end, but rather offers an immersive theatre experience where the audience explores a fictional but tactile world on their own, follow the characters that interest them and that might let them in on a secret, discover hidden clues, share their knowledge with others, all the while confronted with the same questions the characters are faced with.
