An empty flat somewhere in Munich. The person who lives here has disappeared. It is unclear why. Who was this person? What did they love? Who cared about them? And what remains of them after they are gone?
You are granted access to the flat. You give us your phone number and install the Telegram messenger app on your phone. The missing person contacts you via Telegram. But who is chatting with you? Is it really a human being?
Nevertheless, they send you the address. You make your way to the flat alone (or with a maximum of one accompanying person) and use what has been left behind in the flat, on the laptop, in the personal and intimate voice messages and chat interactions to reconstruct the personality and history of the disappeared person – and discover their story.
The artists’ collective Laokoon, comprising Cosima Terrasse, Moritz Riesewieck and Hans Block, is working on new forms of hybrid storytelling – somewhere between digital scavenger hunts and immersive, data-driven experimental theatre. Laokoon received broad international attention with their cinema documentary “The Cleaners” which was nominated for an Emmy and won the 2018 Prix Europa Documentary of the Year and the Grimme Audience Award. Most recently, the collective worked on the cross-media, artistic data experiment “Made to Measure”.
The Telegram messenger app is easy to programme with its open APIs and has therefore long been popular with programmers and coders (except in circles that have recently been widely discussed). It has made its mark on theatre projects during the pandemic for the same reason. Telegram is particularly well suited to being used with GTP-3 controlled voice bots.
Trigger warning: there are many reasons why people suddenly disappear. Some of these will be addressed during the performance.
