HUMANE METHODS [6XXX6] - 2023 - Volkstheater Wien
Theater without human speech; dance without conventional choreographies; performance without body restraint; immersive and more than interactive; sometimes scary, yet emotionally rewarding. The work of the performance group Fronte Vacuo, currently Artist in Residence at Volkstheater until 2024, is a radical experimentation into a new form of live art that combines movement, sound, technology, biology, video and storytelling. For the new project [6XXX6], Fronte Vacuo create six new performances of live science fiction. Each will premiere every few months at Volkstheater. The pieces, specifically conceived for six spaces in and around Volkstheater, tell the saga of a broken, future society seeking how to respectfully co-exist with nature and technology. The stories of this society become stage productions, street performances and performative installations where audiences are plunged into more-than-real events.
