Performative Space Spielhölle Neustadt
SPIELHÖLLE-NEUSTADT

Is a project of Peanutz-Architekten and Club Real, created for the International Summer School Neustadt by Thalia Theater and Bauhaus Dessau, in the train station of Halle-Neustadt, September 2005. Spielhölle-Neustadt was also developed for the Stadtplanungsamt Halle.
Utopian City: role-playing games for Halle-Neustadt
The train station of Halle-Neustadt is transformed into the Neustadt Gambling Casino. The interior creates a dynamic and concentrated atmosphere and allows visitors to dive headlong into a role-playing game in which they act out utopian futures for Halle-Neustadt. These worlds are social utopias: Worlds derived from literary sources or complete fantasy worlds, using and adapting the functionality of fantasy role-playing games (such as Dungeons and Dragons). Different methods of interactive city development and city simulation games are also integrated into the rules of the game. The city undergoes a transformation, as through the fantasies of the players, the architecture is reinterpreted. Each game is a reinvention (redesign) of Halle-Neustadt; the city viewed from a utopian perspective.
