Abgehoben

"Count yourself amongst the brightest minds of our time and contribute your individual talents to the construction of the rocket. Take this unique opportunity and make a big difference! It is time to leave the old behind, answer to the call of technology and conquer outer space!" Louis Vogel in Abgehoben.

Abgehoben was devised to be a critically performative game in which the potential for change at Swiss Universities was to be tested and, optimistically speaking, enlarged. So Zurich University’s theatre-hall became a rocket, which the audience had to get ready for take-off. But during the construction phase, more and more spectators were led into the back room to Galileo.

Will it get to revolution this time?
