This evening takes you into the world between light and shadow. Together with the performers of Hysterisches Globusgefühl, the audience enters a shady, shimmering realm in the Ballhaus Ost hall and explores the grey areas.

Deeply disappointed by political conditions and private contexts, the collective seems to be a mere shadow of its former self. But it’s not supposed to stay that way! Instead of sinking resignedly into the depths of disappointment, they make this feeling their own, illuminating and dissecting it. They enter the infinite space of possibility of a two-dimensional world that oscillates between the poles of light and dark. They emerge from their limited, carnal shells; clear contours and social orders blur and merge into mere outlines. Immersed in voices, forms and sounds, fuelled by ideas and fantasies, they search for a utopian form of existence. In their struggle with reality, they feel a longing for real contact.

The audience is invited to follow the performers into an aesthetic, ecstatic, clandestine world between light and darkness, to step into the shadows with them and then out again.

The performance collective Hysterisches Globusgefühl (Berlin/Vienna) are wholeheartedly and in solidarity with their artistic work against the heteronormative patriarchy and develop utopias for an anti-racist, classless, queerfeminist and respectful future. At the centre of their work is the question of conscious action, political interaction and global malaise. They turn the streets into a theatre stage and the theatre into a stage for political debate. Driven by the search for alternative possibilities, they deal with forms of protest, the aesthetics of subcultures and questions of social coexistence.

NOTE

The performance collective Hysterisches Globusgefühl is currently learning how performances can be made more accessible and how a relaxed atmosphere can be created in this sense.
