As PANORAMA slowly rotates, the world outside starts to to change, evolve, abstract. Not just through the interventions of the actors, but also through the public outside, who find themselves integrated and becoming part of the unfolding drama. The observer is no longer simply a consumer of theatre, but co-creator of it.
“It’s like a cinematic daydream”
Panorama challenges perceptions and reconnects people with space and each other. To stimulate our imagination, experience a sense of presence and see the world in a new light.
Recipient of the inaugural “SSA/FARS script scholarship for street theatre”, PANORAMA was devised and developed by Tom Greder to create site specific, interactive, provocative and transformative theatrical experiences. PANORAMA is made possible through the generous support of the SSA (Swiss society of Authors), FARS (Federation of Swiss Street Arts), Ernst Göhner Foundation, Kanton Bern, Stadt Biel, and Pro Helvetia Swiss Arts Council.
