Everybody resides somewhere, but it becomes difficult to find an affordable flat. In most cities around the world the increase in prices (rental or property) is a number one topic. Many people are forced to move into less attractive neighborhoods due to gentrification. House of Hope starts a new movement against the crisis of housing.
Housing is a basic human right. And houses are a commodity. Many topics around this market are related to one another: gentrification, globalization, refugee migration, rent-regulations, laws on energy-standards… post theater has done research and then started imagining new forms of living, residing and city planning. A different future of housing. A House of Hope is possible!
post theater blends facts and fiction in their post-documentary approach to theater that engages with the audience in various ways, using odd surveys, strange a-capella singing and funny power-point animations.
The piece won the Stuttgart Theater Award 2017 (State of Baden-Württemberg Award for Theater).
