Stateless

»The filament cycle« (Multimedia Performance)
German Première

Two intersecting ways of life that couldn’t be more different. She’s a refugee from the Balkans. He’s a film-maker from America. Her terrifying past confronts him with his own history. Roots, memories and biographies quickly turn into a shady zone. The performance is a crazy meandering right through the centre of the zone, with a near cinematic furor. As raw and ghostly as media reality itself, as inscrutable as the swallowed lines of communication, the piece develops a multimedia current on stage that expressively combines scenic installation, multiple projection surfaces, interactive video screens, puppetry and acting with one another.
