REINHEIT

© Promo

Doctor:

What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands.

Gentlewoman:

It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus

washing her hands: I have known her to continue in

this a quarter of an hour.

— William Shakespeare, Macbeth

»REINHEIT« revolves around the meticulous reconstruction of a seemingly endless, compulsive hand-washing loop: a scenic artifact from the heyday of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which has dominated the everyday life of theatre-maker Oliver Zahn in recent years.

This compulsive production of cleaning rituals serves as a starting point for an examination of historical and contemporary concepts of control, safety and cleanliness — individually and socially, as a civilizational motor, as a means of emancipation and oppression.
