A performative campfire installation for ages 10+
Around the campfire, the wood crackles. The air smells of smoke, forest, sweetness, and char. Stories are told, guesses are made, imaginations run wild, and tales are passed on. But what is already in the air—and what only comes into being through retelling?
Together, we light an artistic campfire and cook a rumour soup: logs are added to the fire, stick bread and foil-wrapped potatoes drift through the smoke, and scents spread—warm, familiar, and full of anticipation. Stories begin to circulate: small observations, claims, rumours. Some change along the way, others stick.
Amid smoke, sound, and flickering light, a collective rumour takes shape—sentence by sentence, scent by scent. After all, we love passing stories on. But judgments form quickly. What does it take for whispers and murmurs to suddenly become accepted as reality? How quickly can a rumour turn into something that can no longer be undone?
A fireside game about social dynamics, hearsay, exclusion, and community.
Sebastian Mauksch & Team create theatre as a space for shared experience and discovery for children and young people. Combining performance, text, visual arts, sound, and technology, they explore social questions together with their audiences, inviting them to test their own perspectives and ways of acting.
