The production “One App at a Time” by Theater Göttliche Samen represents one of the most powerful expressions of how art can serve as a catalyst of social transformation in our times. Under the philosophy of what they call “the UN-Perfect”, this Berlin collective founded by Franziskaos and Andreas Uehlein has turned inclusion and diversity not only into a theme but into the raw material of its artistic creation.

What is truly revolutionary about this proposal is the genuine integration of young people in situations of vulnerability, people with different abilities and professional artists, working on equal footing to build a collective narrative about our relationship with technology. The project does not “talk about” inclusion, but materializes it in every element of the creative process, turning supposed limitations into unique expressive potentials.

THE WORK

In a world where the technology that promises to connect us often isolates us, “One App at a Time” uses the metaphor of the extinct iHomo sapiens sapiens to question how digital devices are transforming our human essence. The work invites us to reflect on who we are in this digital era, but does so from voices usually marginalized from these technological debates.

Participatory art is not simply an educational tool, but a space of empowerment where differences become creative strengths. As its motto goes: “The individual creative potential, including the performers’ disabilities, is reflected as concrete images in the productions.”
