Theatre about the question, if the brain can be understood by the brain.

PLASMA reflects on (neuro-) scientific world views with the resources of theatre. Taking as its starting point the Manifest of renowned neuroscientists which appeared in Fall 2004, which gives information about the state of future possibilities of brain research, PLASMA addresses the question of how our brains can be described using the resources of the brain. This tragic-comical attempt to describe the indescribable, is the subject of the project TIP OF THE TONGUE¹.

The Swiss drama group PLASMA sees itself as a laboratory in which is searched for theatrical forms of expression.

Plasma – the group around the director and author Lukas Bangerter – explores the borders between theatre, music and fine arts, and in this manner creates performances with a unique signature: densely layered and yet clear and reduced in its means.

Zurich acts as the base for the creation of their work, from where they perform at performance venues and festivals in Switzerland and Europe.
