What if …? On stage, this question becomes reality for a while. Theatre is a laboratory of the future, a space of possibilities. Future, now! shows how theatre makes possible worlds experienceable: the exhibition tells of hopes and fears, crises and courses of action, new technologies and collective shaping. The future appears here not as a finished plan, but as something that arises through exchange, participation and decisions.
Historical examples show how theatre designs the future, negotiates social conflicts and tests new forms of living together: from the artificial worker and the invention of the robot in the 1920s, through the question of scientific responsibility in the atomic age, to participatory play and theatre forms. The exhibition follows these questions up to the present day.
