The performance is based on fundamental challenges which we found in three books: “Manifesto of New Realism” by Maurizio Ferraris, “The Theatre and its Double” by Antonin Artaud, and “Realism” by Kerstin Stremmel. We didn’t even manage to read some of them to the end. At a time when all contemporary discussions relate to politics and identity, to the phenomenon of post-truth and the rise of populism, our team distances itself from these intrusive trends. At a time when everything is changing dizzyingly, the team is concerned with its own centrifugal forces and their external imprints. The performance aims to inspire or destroy the intentions and unevenness between the individual segments: choreography, dance, dramaturgy, directing, musical scores, presence, clothing, objects, light, shadows, songs, manifestos, and all kinds of components and techniques that our team activates because it needs quotes, references, models. We produce to create a world that can easily be destroyed. Do we want this?
