Sophie Sophie Sophie! – Die Kunst in allen Dingen

In the organizer's words:

Sophie Taeuber-Arp, born January 19, 1889, was a painter, weaving artist, performance artist, dancer, Dadaist, costume designer, furniture designer, architect, interior designer, lecturer, hostess and campaigner for the modern arts. The police report stated: "Sophie Taeuber-Arp, died January 13, 1943 from carbon monoxide poisoning. Occupation: housewife."

Sophie Taeuber-Arp - for a long time the woman on the 50 SFr. bill - was active throughout Europe at the interface of classical and modern art. Her creative spectrum, her artistic approach and her aesthetics are groundbreaking and yet she remained inconspicuous.

Various art forms - acting, mask play, object theater and projection mapping - merge to tell the Kafkaesque frame story: Two clerks work in a small office. Their job is to classify people and events correctly and sensibly. One day, they receive certificates from Sophie Taeuber-Arp, who has suddenly died. The clerks' job: to classify! The fact that they fail is already due to the abundance of the work ... When the works begin to fight back, the events take on surreal traits.
