ABOUT

Sepiso Mwange and Mathias Becker are rehearsing encounters with each other, themselves and audience, with their histories, their differences and their common point: theatre.

Mwange & Becker investigate theatre as a space of knowledge. They reflect on their own experiences and the formation of knowledge in the theatre space, seeking to learn more about performative practices. The audience is invited to join this performative experience – a devised work combining performance, mixed media, puppetry and documentary theatre.
