Performance aus dem Toihaus in collaboration with CLOWNFABRIK
A sea of clothes.
The Mediterranean? The remains of a collapsed clothing factory?
Does not really matter. Somewhere down there may be many dead.
The question is: how did this catastrophe come about?
The 3 performers on stage approach this question from an existential perspective because they cannot do otherwise. A clown feels, senses, perceives and acts accordingly. Without thinking too much.
The clown represents the archetype of the human psyche.
The clown is the embodiment of unfiltered emotions, a permission to freedom, an anarchist.
The clown wants to be loved and in his endeavors his human faults are revealed.
The clown fails – often.
A sea of clothes. Emotions such as greed, envy and shame come into play and are lived out to the point of crazy with the playfulness of the clown in its lightness and depth.
In this collaborative work between INFLUX and Clownfabrik, the artists explore the subconscious motivations behind one of the disasters of our time. They examine the emotional landscape of greed from a clownesque/grotesque point of view, as a way of dealing with the topic of the incident of the Rana Plaza clothing factory collapse in Bangladesh in 2013.
