ON INVITATION OF HELENA WALDMANN & FRIENDS
Helena Waldmann & friends take possession of the theatre as institution, a place reduced to the production of cultural output. It no longer knows its origins: tragedy, death and catharsis.
Theatre itself used to be a feast before we handed it over to education, to sitting still and paying attention, before the devil sold our souls to labour.
With the help of seven dancers, performers and musicians who bring to bear their own artistic and cultural influences, the feast is restored to the theatre in order to celebrate against the violence of the circumstances: the exception to the rule, the state of emergency. The antidote. "Feierabend!".
Be our guest, strip yourself of the spectator, give up the position forced on you by your seat in the auditorium, and celebrate the feast where it originated: in the theatre.
