Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

Wastelands, puddles, concrete, wood, four weeks to prepare and nine artists attending – these are the ingredients of the 1. Offenbacher Seefestspiele. The YRD.Works collective transforms the yard in front of Kressmann-Halle, an exhibition hall that they have opened one year ago in the Offenbach habour, into a utopian space with a four-piece series performed in a hybrid mix of water basin, walk-in sculpture and stage. Artistic accomplices: the music duo Les Trucs – best known for experiments with electronic devices and acoustic ready-mades – and the contact Gonzo collective, shocking audiences from New York to Tokyo with their playfully breakneck performances. Together, they uncover the fantastic potential lying dormant under the harbour.
