Fast Forward 2024

The production SUPERSOCIAL by the EsSound Designian artists Üüve-Lydia Toompere and Siim Tõniste is an invitation to the audience. Your hosts will bring you into conversation with each other, easy-going, personal and sometimes surprisingly deep. Maybe you’ll agree with someone else's opinion over the 100 minutes, maybe you’ll stand up for something alone for once. In the meantime you can simply watch and at the end you’ll get 600 seconds for free – for something very special. SUPERSOCIAL! SUPERSOCIAL is a piece that doesn't necessarily need a theatre, because it can take place anywhere where people come together for all kinds of reasons. That's why the production is now travelling through Dresden for five performances, from the Zentralwerk in Pieschen to the Club oka in the industrial district beyond the Dresden Neustadt to the terrace of the Kleines Haus. Originally scheduled for November 2020 in the frame of the European festival for young directors Fast Forward, the work could not take place due to the lockdown, but then received the festival's residence prize donated by the Förderverein of Staatsschauspiel Dresden. And now Üüve-Lydia Toompere and Siim Tõniste are redeeming their prize. In various interviews with interlocutors from Dresden they have been exploring since April the city, in which they are now inviting the audience to SUPERSOCIAL. That means that your hosts are well prepared to start a conversation with you. Let us surprise you!
