Alice

You're thrown into the world and don't understand the rules of the game.

In *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*, Lewis Carroll creates a world where conventions are turned upside down. On her journey, Alice repeatedly struggles with the rules of social interaction—words twist, take a turn, and run away from her.

Drawing inspiration from Carroll’s novel, Meret Mareike Behschnitt transposes Alice’s struggle with the rules into the present day and stages the tea party as an experimental setup: in the garden of a middle-class row house, Alice sits down for tea with herself and wonders whether the rules might not look quite different. If order itself is absurd, isn’t nonsense the most sensible form of resistance?
