RÜBER is a brand-new form of passenger transport: the transformation of the passenger compartment of a Bavarian luxury limousine – it’s insides inconspicuously dissected – into a mobile theatre space. The vehicle reacts dynamically to its environment and creates a sound bubble that transports its occupants to an acoustic parallel dimension. Which events and sounds – noises, car doors, indicators, screeching tires – are part of the norm and which are a curated element of the performance? Even the recognizable outer world sounds different from the inside: traffic noise becomes part of the experience and the journey a choreography of random movements. Who is a passer-by and who a performer positioned along the six-kilometer route? Performers merge into the street life, meddle with street life, mix up street life, they puncture the boundaries between performance and the everyday, between composition and contingency, between cinema-in-the-mind and multi-disciplinary artistic creation. Figures emerge from the teeming landscape of the world rolling past and, following the laws of a free, urban jungle, use signals and adverts to compete for the viewer’s attention.
Duration of performance: approx. 30 minutes. The individual trips take place every 45 minutes from 2 pm.
The seating capacity of RÜBER is limited to three people per journey on the back seat of the vehicle.
