To the Stars: A Theater Game Between Fantasy and Space

The countdown is on: On December 7, 2026, the Game Studio Three More Years invites you to an interactive media art performance for everyone aged 12 and up at FFT Düsseldorf. To the Stars transforms the audience into a crew on a cosmic mission and opens the stage space for a journey into the unknown.

When the Audience Becomes the Space Crew

Two performers and a onboard computer guide the visitors through a real-life theater game. At the center are the FFT Cubes, a hybrid invention of FFT, making its debut on stage in this performance. The stage experience combines play, digital culture, and performing arts into an open experimental setup.

Technology Meets Childlike Imagination

The dramaturgy delves into the big questions of the universe: What alien beings could the heroes encounter? How can we communicate with unknown life forms? And where are the limits of human knowledge? Three More Years connects technical media, speculative world-building, and theatrical participation to create a production in which the audience does not just watch but acts.

A Visual Journey with Black Light and Fog

Black light creates visual accents while fog transforms the stage space into a floating in-between world. The lighting mood and interactive spatial design create a theater atmosphere between control center, computer game, and imaginary space station. The performing art of the performers meets digital impulses, blurring the boundaries between stage, play, and science fiction.

Direction, Concept, and Artistic Direction

The artistic direction is led by Friedrich Kirschner. The concept and realization come from Friedel Hänsel, Leonie Hanna Kopineck, Vero Róza Rišňovská, and Jonas Olbrich. Marina Fervenza and Paul Davis Newgate will perform. The production is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in the media art fund.

A Stage Experience for Curious Explorers

The approximately 70-minute performance is aimed at visitors aged 12 and up and invites active participation. Following the performance, there will be an audience discussion. For individuals who require a specific seating arrangement or prefer a relaxed entry, Early Boarding is available. Seating is free choice.

Conclusion: To the Stars promises an unusual encounter of media art, theater game, and cosmic fantasy. Those who want to not just observe digital culture but experience it as a shared stage event will find a journey at FFT Düsseldorf that connects technology and theatrical art in surprising ways.
