Drinking Brecht: An Automated Laboratory Performance

What if a multimedia performance not only tells a story but also literally lets you taste history? In Drinking Brecht: An Automated Laboratory Performance, Sister Sylvester delves into the political power of ‘scientific theater,’ inspired by none other than Bertolt Brecht.

Starting with a stolen cap from the costume collection of Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble, this unique experience unleashes a fascinating biohacker experiment. By combining forensic methods and archival research, Sylvester attempts to trace the previous owners of the cap. But that’s not all: the audience is actively involved in an unprecedented experiment—the creation of the very first documentary… in a cocktail.
