»Women.War.Comedy«
Drama by Thomas Brasch
A closed room between laundry, laboratory and operating theatre. In the centre is an enormous red tub surrounded by a white cloth and on the verge of overflowing. War is raging in there, woman against woman, very quietly: the sisters, Klara and Rosa. Their weapons are born like scalpels: stories from their common past: jealousy, betrayal, prostitution, child-murder. They love and torture one another. It is unclear what is being performed. What could be being performed is a series of hallucinations in blazing light, hallucinations of clear, near religious severity, of cool and oppressive expression. A perfidious chamber play, that portrays the constant exchange of gender and biography as an inferno of feelings and an opaque confusion of reality and imagination. It is a play that sets itself up in opposition to an era in which voyeurism and exhibitionism is the order of the day.
Women.War.Comedy is a coproduction with Theater Kohlenpott Herne.

»Perhaps the Slope of Night Persists«
Performance
A diagonal path of broken glass is dividing the room and ending at a black wall, consisting of two parts. In the harsh light, that dazzles the audience, a female person is - obviously in vain - fighting against shatters and decline, a mysterious mighty body leaving behind traces of the code of the tragic.
This performance is made of images of unfathomable beauty, menace and energy - its roots can be found in Butoh and the Poor Theatre by Grotowski.
