ERLEBNIS THEATER — für eine wahrnehmungszentrierte Raumtheorie im Theater — Carina Fenderich

The project deals with sensitive perception in spaces and criticises its non-existence, especially in theatre architecture.

In addition to a written version, in which reflections from my perspective as a stage designer on the spatial sequence of theatre architectures are presented, it is an experimental light/sound and video production. This will be shown in a room-within-a-room installation, a geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller. With its outstanding lighting and acoustic properties, the dome is an attractive setting for a theatre production both indoors and outdoors. Away from monumental memorial buildings to easily erectable and immersive tent structures that can be integrated into the public space and thus make theatre visible in the city.

From my position as a stage designer, I want to show that space alone can tell a story.

To this end, I have designed a 360° stage that surrounds the audience, making it easier to empathise with the atmosphere through the spatial approach.

The staging, an example of the theoretical realisation, is based on Plato's allegory of the cave and deals with its spatial-theoretical and philosophical content. In addition to sight and hearing, other senses such as smell and the feeling of material surfaces are also addressed. The overall result is a holistic theatre experience.
