Temple of Alternative Histories (TAH) is a transdisciplinary collaboration between visual art, stage art, scientists, and the wider community unfolding at Staatstheater Kassel between 15 July and 24 September 2022.
TAH revisits the many entanglements between nature and culture and seeks to discuss current perceptions of time and matter. How can mythological narratives impact nature and vice versa? What spaces and forms of mediation can enhance a public, artistic, and scientific debate about the current states of affairs?
Consisting of three major components—an arts exhibition, public programme, and stage work—TAH is inspired by the origins of the theater as a ritualistic meeting place, a structure built around an empty metaphorical space intended to stage and host meaning. All aspects aim to explore the transformative, potentially cathartic, communal possibilities for our time.
