Beschreibung

Anti-war piece exposing the underlying aims of large corporation CEOs, bankers and politicians, which make them start and run bloody conflicts around the world. The piece is rich in unusual sound layers and strong visual elements. This collage of images and sounds, frightening and beautiful at the same time, often contrasts with melancholic parts, which emphasise the peaceful, paradise-like setting of the Bostheater and our distance to the violence going on every day around us. At one point the performers break it and take the action off stage, bringing it close to the audience, so that it becomes a whole new experience in the end.
 
The stage of the theatre serves as a sea, whether it is filled with oil or with refugees. The isolated images in this performance look surreal against the background of the theater. Two worlds come together, revealing our distance or negligence to the 'other world', which exists every day.
 
Interdisciplinary piece for 7 performers (musicians, actors/dancers), putting the powerful people of the world (multinational corporation directors, politicians, bankers, etc.), next to the ones affected the most by their decisions (homeless people, soldiers taking part in wars, their civilian victims and refugees), confronted with the 'average public members'. The effects which come out of this are from highly poetic and lyrical up to absurd and hyper realistic, connected to our every day world, however intertwined with abstract musical and visual layers.
