Mimikry: EXOMOON

Mimikry: EXOMOON

An immersive journey to an exoplanetary moon

Mimikry: Exomoon was a 10-day long immersive space experience, performed at Theater Neumarkt, bringing a year-and-a-half-long collaboration between SEADS, Theater am Neumarkt and the CHAMELEON exoplanet research group to a fantastic close.

The production invites the public to reflect on what our new home beyond Earth might look like, and what values, identity, and knowledge we choose to take with us. The piece reflects on contemporary human activities and cultural expressions, while exploring the tension of individual self-reflection during the transition from a terrestrial environment to a speculative space habitat on a moon orbiting an exoplanet.

Through this layered and multi-sensory journey, visitors will encounter a new kind of environment, make new encounters and create something unknown in one of many possible worlds, allowing us to see ourselves anew. With space exploration becoming increasingly embedded in human culture, EXOMOON offers a glimpse into a future of alien environments as we expand our colonized space beyond the atmosphere of planet Earth.

For 10 nights, audience members were invited to imagine what it might be like to live and create on an Exomoon, a moon in another solar system of our galaxy. We explored humanity's future in space, inviting the public to reflect on what a new home beyond earth might look like, and what values, identity and knowledge we choose to take with us.
