The task of art, culture, education, and the upbringing of the future can only be to sensitize humans to comprehend that they can break through the reigns of control and once again perceive themselves as a part of the Earth.
Josef Mayerabout the theater group antagon theaterACTion, founded by Bernhard Bub in 1990 as the Theater on Wheels, is an independent performance theater of the modern times, a theater which nonetheless searches for traces of the forgotten, traditional roots of the theater.
Energy is there, where people come together with their strengths and weaknesses. That is a long process that differs greatly from the short-of-breath atmosphere that characterizes our current societal situation, and it cannot be won with money or deals. In the organic theater, if it is about the honest and direct relationship to life, the human being stands in the center as the most important aspect. For us, theater is the process that occurs within a group while collaborating on a project.
antagon works with performers from all over the world, activating the audiences' senses with our voices and our bodies, through music, acrobatics and improvisation, by dancing on stilts, with fire, all wrapped in sculptural stages built on the spot.
The Theatre is not violence, it is erosion. It likes to abrade the moulds of society. In contrast to a hurricane, it is rather like water or the wind, which form the ever changing face of the Earth in nearly imperceptible ways.
