What is a community? How does one go about constituting a community? What are the limits, the borders of sharing? How can one be oneself and share at the same time? How much piracy does a community need?

Neither a simple performance, nor a conventional show, neither a dance nor a party! In ©oPirates, choreographer Richard Siegal, winner of the German Theatre Prize Faust 2010, investigates the idea of community through modes of performance, inviting professional and non-professional dancers and performers as well as groups from all walks of life in the Ruhr District – from modern dance, parkour and folklore practitioners through to alternative activists – to participate in a unique event. A multi-faceted evening in which questions unfold and discoveries will be made: Welcome to this philosophical party!
