Mimikry: EXOMOON
10-night immersive theater production at Theater Neumarkt exploring humanity's future beyond Earth—served as one of three artistic directors, handling music/audio and co-developing the overall production.
Overview
A 10-night immersive theatrical experience at Theater Neumarkt where audiences imagined living and creating on an exomoon—a moon orbiting a planet in another solar system. I served as one of three project leads/artistic directors in this 18-month collaboration between SEADS, Theater am Neumarkt, and the CHAMELEON exoplanet research group.
The production invited audiences to reflect on what a new home beyond Earth might look like and what values, identity, and knowledge we choose to carry as we expand beyond our atmosphere. Through layered, multi-sensory journeys, visitors encountered alien environments and participated in creating something unknown across possible worlds.
My Role
One of three artistic directors working in a horizontal collaborative structure. I handled music and audio for the production while all three leads contributed to:
- Overall concept development
- Workshop facilitation with actors
- Designing the play itself
- Set design and spatial decisions
The leadership structure was intentionally non-hierarchical—we each brought specific expertise (my focus being sonic/musical) while sharing responsibility for the production’s conceptual and practical development.
Context
As space exploration becomes increasingly embedded in human culture, EXOMOON offered a glimpse into futures of colonized alien environments. The piece explored individual self-reflection during the transition from terrestrial life to speculative space habitats while examining contemporary human activities and cultural expressions.
