Motorenwelt

Planning context ★☆☆☆☆
Thematic planning context:
The theme of the reading "Letters to the Editor of an Automobile Magazine" builds a direct reference to the surrounding traffic environment.

Spatial planning reference:
In the performance, modes of lecture that are more or less exclusively applied in quiet environments are applied in an extremely moving, busy street space. Thus, the ever-changing street space itself becomes the subject and "participant" of the action.
However, there is no direct spatial planning reference.
