This project plays with the effects of unbridled consumerism on the enjoyment of culture. For many people the consumption of culture no longer entails engaging with actual content. Instead, the main goal is to confirm or improve one’s own social status by being privy to the latest trends. As a result, art becomes all the more elitist while its reception becomes increasingly superficial. Das Planetenparty Prinzip takes this situation to the extreme by inviting the audience to save time and effort by providing them with all of the elements necessary to be able to participate in conversations about specific plays and performances; to give varied commentary and to praise the staging and interpretation without ever having seen anything in person. In the friendly atmosphere of a customer-service consultation in a pop-up shop that takes less than two minutes, customers are given individual presentations of an iconic scene from a must-see theater performance and receive flashy press kits to take home, further emphasizing Das Planetenparty Prinzip’s conscious overidentification with the soulless service industry.
