A performative campfire installation for ages 10+
It crackles and smokes. It flares up and it smells. Stories are told, suspicions raised, and tales spun. Together, we light an artistic campfire and cook up a rumour soup: more wood is added to the fire, bread is toasted on sticks, and stories make the rounds — small observations or claims. Some change along the way, while others stick. Amid smoke, sounds, and flickering light, a collective rumour emerges, sentence by sentence, scent by scent. We love passing things on! But a judgment can form quickly. How fast can a rumour become something that can no longer be taken back? A game around the fire 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.
