BiNeural-MonoKultur
A company founded in 2004 comprised of the directors and playwrights Ariel Dávila (Argentina) + Christina Ruf (Germany). They work together with artists and experts in other disciplines creating projects in the scenic arts.
Investigative processes make up an important part of their projects; they are primarily interested in formats and procedures where the scenic event is an experience, in both theatrical spaces and unconventional spaces.
In their projects they try to address the diffuse boundary between reality and fiction. They are interested in using technology, performance and science as artistic tools.
They have been invited to the following residencies, symposia and meetings:
