secret agency

The Bank of Burning Money, the Alibi Agency, the Casino of Tricks, the Assembly of Real and Other Pirates, the Black Bank, Women of the Seven Seas – secret agency produces situations and institutions that appear to be fictional but then nonetheless withstand the test of reality. The performances of secret agency create another reality rather than confirming the old world in critical gestures. They open escape routes from austerity and take you on a trip with the improbability drive. secret agency creates forums for unheard voices and explores the pleasures of future togetherness. secret agency is working anonymously, transdisciplinarily and internationally. It was founded to use artistic means and resources beyond the accumulation of individual fame. secret agency is an independent label, an open collective and a practical exercise in the „art of being many“.

Traumfabrik

Freiburg dreams. You dream. We dream. Everybody dreams. Everybody dreams - alone. Every night. Countless simultaneous dreams. Most are forgotten or never told. But this time, the dreams will not fall into oblivion, no: they will come true, if only for this film: Traumfabrik. In May 2022, geheimagentur (secret agency) opened the Traumannahmestelle in Freiburg - a place where people could tell them about their dreams: weird dreams, scary dreams, funny dreams, beautiful dreams, pipe dreams, nightmares, old dreams and new dreams, dreams about dreams. Then, secret agency selected some of these dreams and, over 10 days in July 2022, made a film based on them. Some people chose to star in their own dreams, some were portrayed by actors of Theater Freiburg. Dream on!

A film by geheimagentur and Theater Freiburg.
