The floor breathes, the walls whisper. Forgotten traces emerge, while something else has taken up residence in the abandoned rooms. Step into The Abandoned House and experience what the house calls forth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Abandoned House is a site-specific and immersive performance art experience created for derelict buildings. Audiences step over the threshold and enter a state of heightened awareness. The tempo slows, senses are awakened, and gaze is opened.

The house's architecture forms the framework for a total installation with hyper-naturalistic doll sculptures, performers, and subtle interplay between sound and light. There is no stage, no set seating area, and no story to follow. Instead, you are invited to listen, participate, and move through the spaces, letting your gaze linger on forgotten traces and unexpected connections, where the boundary between the abandoned and the living slowly dissolves.

The building has absorbed its own deposits and simultaneously becomes a temporary space of opportunity, where past, present, and future meet. The abandoned rooms do not merely hold memories \u2013 they continue to evoke something unknown. Here, it is not action, but your attention, that becomes the driving force of the work.

The house becomes more than a facade and a function in the city's space. Through the scenographic installation and the audience's presence, the place is reactivated as living architecture and a cultural presence in the local environment.
