After the successful Klimatheater (Climate Theater) project at the Europaschule Linz, Lina could not let her wealth of ideas rest. Together with friends, she developed the fairy tale Peter, Paula & Panini, a climate book and play, supported by AI text generators. This was then handed over to the director Damián Cortés Alberti, who created a dance theater piece from it. The premiere took place as part of the city of Linz’s Children’s Culture Week in October 2023. The performance movingly illustrated the effects of climate change, represented by the characters Peter, Paula & Panini. The piece was a success and was subsequently compiled into a book that also integrated the children’s drawings from the project, using image generators to create a harmonious overall picture.
For the Ars Electronica Festival 2024, the scenery will be developed through a workshop with children that combine their invidual drawings with image AI, thus creating the scenery for the dance theater pieces, displayed in the Deep Space 8K of the Ars Electronica Center. The dance theater production will be taken up again and further developed into a new piece for 2025. For now, we allow ourselves a sneak peek into the new production.
