LOST PARADISE is a haunting dance performance directed by Kristóf Szabó and produced by club68köln – the association for disabled and non-disabled people.

Through a combination of dance, theater, radio play, photography, and video art, a multi-layered production unfolds, transforming the space into a vibrant playground of human experience. An impressive stage design and moving video projections lend the performance visual depth and transform the venue into a resonance chamber for memory, resistance, and empathy.

At the center is one of the most fundamental questions of our time:

When is a person a person—and what happens when categories determine value and dignity?

Article 1 of the German Basic Law states: “Human dignity shall be inviolable.”

But what remains of this promise when it cracks in everyday life?

LOST PARADISE is a poetic, haunting appeal against exclusion and pressure to conform. The performance explores the fault lines of our society—between ideal and reality, between inclusion and economic utility. It creates a space for encounter and transformation—an artistic plea for a humanity beyond norms and performance metrics.

The project is complemented by an interactive digital chat platform, Paradise Regained, where visitors can share their experiences of exclusion, judgment, and inclusion—live on site.

Note Performances will be broadcast live on YouTube by the organizer. By purchasing a ticket, you agree to be filmed live and made public on YouTube.
