Mokuchsdag

Mokuchsdag is a futuristic-fantastic-absurd audio play in Luxembourgish. The story is based on the history of the Pfaffenthal, and also includes elements of the local dialect, Jéinesch, or Lakerschmus. At the heart of the story is the antagonistic (and fictional) struggle between the two halves of the valley and their inhabitants.Since the dawn of time (or almost), young Irma has lived with her siblings and adoptive father Lapsus in a narrow, dark alley, déi schmuel däischter Gaass, which leads from the upper town (Uewerstad) to the lower town (Grund). It is precisely this alleyway that the Ministry of Urban Development (Ministär fir Goudrong, Zement an Trottoirsplacken) wants to wipe off the map in order to redevelop the valley. When little Bobby accidentally crosses the barricades one day, his sister Irma will do everything in her power to save him – and perhaps find a way to finally make peace. Starting in July, LUGA audiences will be able to follow in the footsteps of the legendary battles that raged between the Lapsus team and the Ministär. As you listen to the audio play, you’ll have to find and collect clues to bring the characters and their adventures to life, allowing you to discover the history of Pfaffenthal in a different light.Mokuchsdag was written by Claudine Muno. The audio play was directed by Anne Simon, with a cast of actresses and actors spanning several generations: from newcomers Nell Hilbert, Theophile Pernot Schiltz, Ellie Urbany and Täika Viinamäki to established names such as Etienne Halsdorff, Steve Karier, Nora Koenig, and Konstantin Rommelfangen. The site-specific installation was designed by visual artist Clio Van Aerde.
