Driften bis wir Wasser sind

In the organizer's words:

We ask: "When were you born? Before the flood? Or after the flood?"
The multi-sensory performance "Drifting until we are water" deals with floods. The starting point of the performance is the gap between scientific flood warnings and the human reaction to them: the flood only becomes real when chaos occurs. The flood becomes the main protagonist and shapes the evening. The audience experiences a flooded landscape in which nothing obeys, but everything flows.
We whisper: "The flood is coming. The flood is not coming. The flood is coming. The flood is not coming."
Greta Katharina Klein and her team investigate the temporality of the flood: What is the relationship between the eruptive force of the flood and the duration of its aftermath? Which stories survive the flood, which disappear? They deal with its spatial dynamics: How is dissolution experienced? They examine the social relationship to the flood: how can the tension between individual and collective responsibility with regard to disaster warnings be understood?

"Drifting until we are water" is an artistic reflection on the relationship between humans and nature in the context of ecological crises. The loss of orientation in the darkness is tested on stage; a sound composition of voices spreads out and flows into one another; and a flood puppet, which makes the flood physically tangible, is activated. Klein and her team invite the audience, as an indispensable part of the system, to experience the coexistence of different natural actors in the theater space.
