It is a special atmosphere, a sheltered evening mood and the ideal setting to immerse in stories. Night at the museum. “The Power of Things” is a co-production of the group Badluck and the Weltmuseum Wien. Shown are scenes of migration, which give insights into the lives prior to it as well as customs and traditions of different cultures. They are linked to different objects, which were chosen by the artists and connect with their personal stories- from teapots to dolls. In a still museum, attendants are led to various stations, where objects and artists wait and seek dialogue. This journey through “The Power of Things” takes about two and a half hours. Because of the stories and the warmth with which they are conveyed, the scenes of migration no longer seem foreign to visitors. They draw strong pictures, from despair to home.
