When memories turn into data: what about: fuego at WERKRAUM Göttingen

The artist collective what about: fuego will perform the multimedia performance they watch over you on October 9, 2026, at WERKRAUM Göttingen. The production combines personal family stories, political research, interactive design, and cyberfeminist sounds into an intense concert experience that merges theater, performance, and digital contemporary analysis.

The past looks to the future

On stage, the performers encounter the experiences of their deceased grandmothers. Their life stories reflect back on state surveillance systems in the GDR, in Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship, and in Switzerland. From these memories, what about: fuego develops a contemporary question: What do we learn from past forms of control for dealing with digital surveillance economies?

Cyberfeminist sounds and precise stage performance

The multimedia work connects language, light, movement, and sound. The duo ultramorbidi provides a cyberfeminist soundscape, while interactive design and light dramaturgy transform the stage into an atmospheric resonance space. Orchestration here arises not only from music but from the synchronization of bodies, projections, sounds, and political thoughts.

An interdisciplinary collective with a clear stance

what about: fuego was founded in 2020 and operates as an interdisciplinary, intercultural collective from Chile, Germany, and Switzerland. The group develops theater as a space for shared questions and addresses social upheaval, globality, and injustice from an intersectional feminist perspective. Their previous works include War Frame, IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE FENCE, and TEAR GAS – A Safe Weapon.
