Freud träumt :: Anna O.

In the organizer's words:

A VR production by RAUM+ZEIT (Kittstein / Mikeska / Schneider)

Sigmund Freud dreams. How did it all begin? With Anna O.? Together with the doctor Josef Breuer, Freud published five case studies in his "Studies on Hysteria" in 1895. One of the patients, Anna O., invented the term "talking cure". It only became known in 1953: Anna O. was Bertha Pappenheim, activist for women's rights, founder of the Jewish Women's Association. In RAUM+ZEIT's new theater project, Bertha, her alter ego Anna O., Freud and Breuer come together in a theatrical tour de force.

The historic lecture hall on Philosophenweg in the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Heidelberg University opens its doors for this special production. Using virtual reality and live acting, the RAUM+ZEIT collective traces the beginnings of psychoanalysis with a contemporary perspective on the phenomenon of hysteria. The group was recently awarded the Friedrich Luft Prize for the best Berlin production of 2022.

The VR production "Freud dreams :: Anna O." works at the interface of live acting and 360° VR video technology. Here you will find practical tips.
