love.fight.burn.repeat.

In the organizer's words:

A declaration of love in the shadow of the apocalypse - inclusive live film theater

A cooperation with the drama school DER KELLER*

What does it mean to be human?
What do we want to live for? What would we die for? And how does it feel, fulfilled love in the face of climate catastrophe?
A dying species throws itself into the big emotions. Famous film and theater classics are the inspiration for this production in a contemporary guise. A poetic exercise in survival for a society at a tipping point.

love.fight.burn.repeat is a multi-layered play - between survival instinct and longing for love, between passionate rebellion and relentless presence, a game with the end unfolds - and with what we can do to counter it.

6 characters stagger through an intermediate realm of memories, visions of the future and iconic quotes from popular culture. Famous scenes from film and theater classics - from Shakespeare to Titanic - are perforated, broken, lovingly deconstructed and reassembled. The grand gesture meets burning reality: ironic, vulnerable, radically emotional.

The production interweaves text, movement, sound and image to create an intense experience: atmospherically dense, tenderly angry, full of poetic force. Between melancholy and courage, self-abandonment and rebellion, the play searches for what connects us - now that nothing is certain.

love.fight.burn.repeat is not a swan song, but a last, loud rebellion: against forgetting, against falling silent, for a humanity with dignity, sensitivity and radical presence.

Come. We have to talk. About everything that counts.
