*The AGENCY is a young performance group that experiments with the manifestations of neoliberalism in an immersive way. Their performances, in which spectators are gently involved, for example as customers or future members, revolve around subversive possibilities of action (agency*) under the conditions of the post-digital: How are our desires, feelings, identities, and political movements formed in the post-digital age? And how is it possible under these conditions to create counter-emotions, counter-identities, counter-movements?
The artistic works take up neoliberally connoted formats (such as coaching) and their aesthetic strategies such as branding and corporate identity, critically affirmatively exaggerate the technologies of the self institutionalized therein - and wrestle with utopian potential from a queer-feminist perspective.

THE AGENCY was founded by Belle Santos, Yana Thönnes, Magdalena Emmerig and Rahel Spöhrer. Sofie Luckhardt has also been an Agency Member since 2018.
