Premieres in April 2026
Every drop of water on planet Earth is ancient. It's millions of years old. The water in your faucet, your body and the toilet cistern. The water in the womb, in the swimming pool, in the fields, in your food, in the melting glaciers, in creeks and seas.
While some are dreaming of water on Mars, the water on Earth is either missed or too present. Lack of water is already a cause of conflict and local wars. In a world with increasing temperatures, water is becoming more and more important.
In the performance, a group of people meet by a drained pool. Each of them is equipped with a robe and a bottle of water, and they all know that thirst will sneak up on them at some point.
The Game About H2O reflects on water's role in past and present socities through games that explore power balances and global politics. Who wins and loses when water becomes the most valuable resource on the planet? Do you dare to risk it all in the game about the precious drops?
Come receive your robe and water bottle and join us for the game about water!
The Game About H2O is premiering at Kolding Egnsteater in april 2026.
For more than a decade, Secret Hotel has created immersive performances about, in and with nature. For the first time in 9 years, we now move our work indoors to explore water's history, sensuousness and politically explosive nature.
CHRISTINE FENTZ - Artistic Director
The Game About H2O is developed as part of the international Biodiversa+-project, Are Best NbS, which is supported by Innovation Fund Denmark, with a purpose of exploring nature-based solutions and stakeholders' engagement in biodiversity and their local areas. In Denmark the research explores the Vejle-membrane and how lived experiences might affect different stakeholders' engagement and actions in the local environment. Secret Hotel is associated with the research process as artists, and in return we gain a lot of knowledge about water.
The research project is made in collaboration with Department of Business and Sustainability – University of Southern Denmark (DK), UiS Business School – University of Stavanger (NO), Center for Molecular and Environmental Biology – University of Minho (PT), MOME Innovation Center – Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design (HU) and Department of Sustainable Development – Utrecht University (NL).
