GRUSEL

The world teaches people to be scared, so they have to find a way to deal with it. The collective is never concerned with fear alone, but always with shared terror and bonding laughter. Children and adults experience the fun and uncertainty of the horror cabinet together, directly and anew.

Between ghosts, skeletons, bats and monsters, we also search for everyday fears, the horrors of our modern world, in order to give them a pleasurable performance here: Is the ghost of a family dispute encountered here, or is the bleeding heart speaking? Is a stranger asking intimate questions here? Is 1.5 degrees more already too hot? How much does Siri know - and who is Siri, actually?

In 2018, the performance collective's first collaboration with the KJT Dortmund took place with the performative video walk Integration, Baby! This was followed by the production Homewalk - a journey through Wohnania (2020) through numerous apartments of the participants and the performative tour After the sky glowed (2021) over the site of the Hansa coking plant.

Are the visitors just secret observers, are they unwelcome guests who need to be chased away? Or do they perhaps play a bigger role in this chamber of horrors than they would like?

Horror is a playful and loving invitation to enjoy a thrilling scare for everyone aged 8 and over.
