Lake Life - Berlin-Premiere
Performance by Kate McIntosh
“Lake Life” is a science fiction fantasy, a dream world in a spectacular setting where every transformation seems possible and the boundaries of the human experience are expanded. The immersive performance by Kate McIntosh explicitly targets an intergenerational audience and will celebrate its Berlin premiere in mid-February at Radialsystem. In guided encounters, the audience blurs the line between the imaginary and the real—while celebrating the potential of deep imagination and altered self-perception. A space of playful reinvention.
Radialsystem presents “Lake Life” as part of the program series “Conjunctions – Acts of being in relation,” which is dedicated to the poetry of “being in relation.”
For all age groups from 10 years - The piece is not suitable for children under 10 years old.
The performance is participative with light physical contact with other people.
In German and English.
Duration approx. 90 minutes.
