Mixtape or The In­di­vi­si­ble Com­mu­ni­ty of Re­pu­blics

Seven young people take a trip into the night. They belong to Generation Z, born in the mid-noughties, into a world of economic crises, reigniting wars, the break-up of seemingly self-evident things, new alliances and heated tempers that - driven by breathless digital communication - can no longer agree on what is real and what is not.

These young people are said to be indecisive, latently depressed, anxious and overly reactive to external influences. It's the biggest misconception of all time. This evening, they have a plan. They go on a journey through the streets and squares of their city, through the stories that have shaped this place - and with it their own biographies and beliefs - over the centuries. They are curious, sad, angry, vulnerable. But they do not hide their vulnerability. They make it their weapon.

Director and author Boris Nikitin has developed a special evening together with actors of the successful production “Romeo and Juliet” and ensemble member Claudia Nimako: a live film that will be streamed onto a large screen in the Schauspielhaus. The result is an odyssey through the night, an intoxicating portrait of a generation.

During the three hour performance, it will be constantly possible to leave the auditorium in order to take a break. The bar will remain open.

“Mixtape” is based on a concept by Boris Nikitin and the collaboration with Sebastian Nübling. The texts are a collaboration between Boris Nikitin and the ensemble, as well as Elif Duygu Karci, Juliette Meding, Julian Schneider, Lukas Stäuble, with motifs by Joan Didion and Victor Heringer.
