“Kritter” focuses on climate change and its consequences, such as species extinction and climate catastrophes.

What if humans, animals and plants were closer to each other? What if they were even related to each other? Half dandelion, half human; black rhino in the front, woman in the back. A person with fins? A computer with a heartbeat. A hybrid creature with new qualities. Around a digital campfire, consisting of flaming tablets, the performers of Turbo Pascal gather with their audience to imagine a world in which the human is no longer at the center of all things. Sentence by sentence, a story emerges. Ideas from the audience mingle with those of the performers. The story picks up speed—a jointly created fantasy that conceives the world differently.

Rattled by the daily bad news of species extinction, Turbo Pascal open up a co-creative space for collaborating with a young audience in their interactive performance »Kritter.« With words, fantasies, video projections, and drawings, the dialogical storytelling results in a joint science fiction. A space of thought for alternative narrations that in a both serious and humorous manner thwart Eurocentric, patriarchal perspectives.
