Crossing Common Borders
What it's all about
"What separates us from our happiness?"; Crossing Common Borders is dedicated to the topic of borders, visible and invisible, real or imagined, individual and collective, as well as the courage to overcome them.
Why should you come?
Crossing Common Borders combines theater, film, lighting, and music, all performed live! It is an ode to failure. A confession of loneliness. A desire for a great collective. All this connects us and from this point the hope for a common utopia begins to grow.
Pssst!
The piece is a collaboration between “Studio Trafique” and the editorial team “Ohrenkuss”. The authors' texts are part of the play.
The production is staged in the live-film-theater-style typical for Björn Gabriel and Anna Marienfeld: five actors and two video artists will use four cameras, image composition, light design, sound design and analog acting to capture the complexity of our time and make it tangible to the audience. Come as you are!
