title: Honey, Elder Blossom, Lemon and Spice

text: About the answer to the question we can be very short:
It is a mistake. It, however, exists, but it doesn't have a singular form: It is a community, a collective, a 'we', a laboratory of the future.

In an attempt to create a metapher for the process of fermentation that takes place in the 'think-and-do-tank' of the laboratory, we would like to brew the Spirit/Eau de Vie/Spiritus of it.
There is no other drink on earth, that is more suitable for this experiment than Mede, drunken by the Ancient Gods and Monks, prepared from honey, elder blossom, lemons and secret spices.

We hope to be able to let the public taste and try the 'Spirit of DasArts' on the 17th of June, but a fermentation process doesnít let itstelf be caught in a deadline.

If the spirit cannot be bottled on the 17th, the audience will enjoy a 'fizzing and bubbling' fluency, and will will have to take delight in the imagination of itís taste. Just like it happens in the theatre of the future, from which derives the 'Spirit of DasArts' very right of existence: 'We are what we imagine'.
