The solution was white, inflatable plastic cushions from the packaging industry. The cushions became the central element of the play and served sometimes as transportable seating, sometimes as a costume and sometimes as a stage set. The play was performed in several places in one evening: on the pavement, under a bus shelter, at a crossroads and finally in an empty warehouse.
"The Conference of Utopians" unfolded a dynamic in which everyone present became part of the production. Ist was more a shared space for thought and action than a play.
A huge, discarded parasol arched like the heavens over a white round stage made from a dance floor.
This production was preceded by a research trip in a camper van. This fulfilled several functions at the same time, and was used as an archive, an interview and conversation room, a place to sleep, a kitchen and a planning office. "Frl. Wunder AG" was out and about in the greater Brunswick area - in villages and small towns, at fun fairs or at The National Metrology Institute of Germany - looking for the best designs for a future world. The research materials and contents of this journey were used to create the play "The Conference of Utopians".
