KINO IM KOPF spezial: Die Truman-Show

Outside, the city passes by; inside, it’s cosy to sit, listening to the soundtrack of the movie playing like a radio piece; music and dialogue drive the story along. Outside, the Viennese performance artist Oliver Hangl and numerous actors have begun to carry out an intervention. Is the ambulance’s siren part of the production? A man and a woman embrace each other at a tram station across the street. Someone opens a window and shouts something – the whole world as cinema.
The tram as a movie theatre, the city as a moving image? Leave the protective dark and get onto the tram, move and let your eyes wander. Sound! Olliwood Productions proudly present a KINO IM KOPF (CINEMA IN YOUR HEAD) production in which the audience, glance by glance, cuts the film; inner images merge with real ones, and reality suddenly turns into a fiction, or vice versa? The cinema audience as an interface between inside and outside, between image and sound in an urban, nearly uncontrollable setting. Staged fiction versus staged reality?

Film: The Truman Show (USA 1998, Peter Weir)
Technical details: The soundtrack comprises the modified soundtrack of the original film and the specially produced audio description inserted where the dialogue pauses (studio recordings). Wireless phones, wireless microphones, mobile accumulator systems.
