The light installation reworks the surface as an architectural element and invents a new concept for it that moves away from the material object. To achieve this, surfaces are opened and closed, different atmospheres and moods are interwoven, and new worlds are constructed within existing ones. In this way, \u2018Topia\u2019 creates a wall of light in the real space of the Dom im Berg venue that is clearly visible but intangible, inviting the audience to imagine and explore in a very special way.   <\/p>\n\n<p>location: <strong>Dom im Berg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong><br\/><strong>On Saturday, 25 October 2025, the last admission is at 9:45
