The Curiosity of Brain

There is a theatre play.
It is about the brain.

The project is called: The Curiosity of Brain.

It is a theatre play.
There is movement, pictures, and videos.

It is about the brain.
And about thinking.

What is it about in general?

The play shows a journey inside the brain.
It is about curiosity.
And about questions in the mind.

The play asks:
How does a person think?
How do they make decisions?
What do feelings do?

What is it about exactly?

The main character is called Brian.
Brian thinks a lot.
He looks for answers.

The play takes place in his brain.
Inside his brain works “Brain.”
Brain is an invented character.

Brain moves between nerve cells.
Brain is curious.
He follows a sudden idea.
The idea flies away.
Brain searches for it.
They travel through the whole brain.

This world feels like a dream.

The play shows:
Every day we get many pieces of information.

For example:
From the news.
And from the Internet.

The brain has to sort them.
Some ideas stay.
Others are lost.

The play combines theatre and film.
It also combines theatre and science.

The first performance was in 2015.
The place was Kassel.

The direction was by Dominik Breuer.
Video and dramaturgy were by Gunnar Seidel.
The animation was by Felix Kramer.

The project was created
with the Media Project Center Kassel.

It was supported by
the City of Kassel
and the State of Hesse.
