The VRUM Performing Arts Collective plunges into the adventure of fighting fear! Based on the poem "Life doesn't Frighten me", the intergenerational ensemble is developing a production in which it explores the dangers, horrors and craziness of everyday life.

"Mischmatsch" is the story of a person on the margins of society. For someone who has so little, the longing for life and the hunger for liveliness also means survival. And it seems that his humor and longing are the only things he has to counter his situation.

"New Old" is rather personal. It is on the verge, if not already way over the edge, to something private. Meandering between topics such as the fear of peeing oneself, the mouth-like quality of the vulva, the phenomenologically fascinating thing of being two people at once for a while, as well as how musical the word ‘pussy’ is in different languages, and the consequences thereof.

"The Myth: last day" is centred around a prefabricated archaeological mine, where a pseudo-archaeologist digs objects from the ground. It intertwines reality and fiction and creates myths, thereby constructing speculative pasts and futures. The show’s second part is a black-metal-inspired doomsday concert, where the researcher becomes a chaotic punk-metalhead.

Every first and third Thursday of the month at 17.30h you can discover the exhibition Darker, Lighter, Puffy, Flat together with our art educators and discuss the context and background of the exhibited works.

The audience joins the five unloved creatures in a space of self-irony and self-love, where one cares for the other, where everyone is valuable and right and allowed to participate. The play celebrates the beauty of ugliness, of being an outsider, and of the creativity that lies dormant within us and allows us to experience connectedness with others.
