QUANTUM DREAMS VOLKSTHEATER is an audiovisual installation in which text, image and voice merge into a synthetic theatrical space. Developed from archival material of recent productions at Volkstheater Wien, the work reimagines theatre as a generative system: a place where scenes, bodies, voices and atmospheres are recomposed by machine-based processes.

Custom image, language and voice models transform the memory of the institution into fluid, constantly shifting stage worlds. The resulting sequences unfold between theatre, film and dream: fictional scenes that never existed on stage, yet remain charged with theatrical presence.

QUANTUM DREAMS VOLKSTHEATER explores the unstable border between human and machine creativity — and asks how theatre might remember, transform and dream through artificial systems.
