A Beginner's Guide to Sightseeing

Florence Ruckstuhl & Nora Schneider (CH)

 

3 different observations. 2 ghosts. 1 small house. Also: carpet-laying machines and cable winches, unspectacular stunts, distracted tourists, a glimpse through binoculars, a falling spotlight, an orca stranded on stage, homemade special effects and the world’s biggest peanut. Perhaps.

 

Which of these is worth seeing? What do I want to see, and when do I look away? Who is looking at whom? And what if there’s no one there to watch? *A Beginner’s Guide to Sightseeing* brings together observations on looking and being looked at, as well as performative, real and fantastical sights.

 

No prior knowledge required. Popcorn included in the admission price.

 

Duration: approx. 70 minutes
