A few remarks on the nature of contagion (Teaser)

Die Ansteckungsgefahr liegt nicht nur im verheerenden Bereich des Physischen, sondern auch im Bereich des Sozialen und Psychologischen... die lautstarke Verbreitung von (Fehl-)Informationen während einer Krise drängt uns in unser Selbst... Vernunft und Ruhe, Anspannung an der Belastungsgrenze, Ängste und Befürchtungen brechen in Vorurteile und Diskriminierung aus... diese neue digitale Realität umhüllt... zwei Darsteller, die in Wort und Ton nach Klarheit und Ruhe suchen.

The threat of contagion lies not only in the devastating realm of the physical, but in those of the social and the psychological as well… the vociferous spread of (mis)information during crisis pummels us into our ourselves… reason and calm strain at the breaking point, anxieties and fears rupture into prejudice and discrimination… this new digital reality envelops... two performers searching for clarity and respite in words and sound.
