an immersive performance in Cologne Riehl

in German and English.
A kiosk, a camping van, a balcony in the distance, a circus tent, a high-rise building and wide meadows. On the left bank of the Rhine, the Riehl neighborhood of Cologne houses the venue of the collectively developed performance DOLLHOUSES - The Swimmingpool. The audience is invited to visit the DOLLHOUSES resort to have “unforgettable experiences”. Guided by 15 performers through different scenes, the audience moves around the area through staged moments that together form a narrative.
DOLLHOUSES - The Swimmingpool addresses the past of the historic Riehl as “the Golden Corner” of Cologne. Through performance, installations and scenes inspired by the once existing amusement park, the performance oscillates between the past and a fictional future, intimacy and (dis)connection, longing and unbridgeable distance. DOLLHOUSES are dolls’ houses, playing fields, staged worlds in which time, space and perspective are always flexible, and which engage public space as an encountered, variable narrative.

“...Could you feel that cold wind? Either a siege of kinetic energy, cooling our warm bodies on this summer
afternoon or a deathly demeanor brushing a shiver down our back. It is in fact, Kandinsky's ghost galloping
past us, on his favorite horse, Klaus. With no more flesh to spare, only gnawed bones held together by
beetle juice and brain syrup. There they go, through the soldered gates of the garden, past the Siegestor,
through the berried bushes on the hill, sheltering the Monoptorous. Becoming smaller and smaller for our
human eye to see. Into the sunlight they ride and limping behind them, a fatally shot Franz Marc, yelling
in frenzy for the sake of the warlord's vanity...”
