Using taste as an interplay with knowledge, we aim to reimagine the narrative of “salt” as a passive material to its active role in our material world. “Let’s Talk Salt” explores the connection between micro and macro dimensions of agency, as a creative approach to understand our intricate social, cultural and ecological system. Using “past, present, future” as a framework to study a material (salt), to experiment between analysis, workshop and experience. - 17:30 h Weißes Rössl von Lauffen, theatre with Thomas Goerge (text, direction) and Daniel Angermayr (set)

Bold perspectives for the future always emerge from new beginnings. In the Salzkammergut, doors have opened, dams have broken, new spaces have been created that generate a positive momentum, a pull for utopias and visions. This is now an opportunity to create a wonderful future full of optimism and euphoria. With starsky’s large-scale projections and the sounds of Therese Terror, we pour out a cornucopia of utopias that deal with the beautiful, the positive, the visionary. They take up space, they play themselves lovingly into the minds and hearts of the viewers, where they fit in and nestle. Where they may lead to an openness for the new, the beautiful and art… - 17:45 – 18:30 h Paper costumes by Modeschule Ebensee, light dresses by Isa Stein
