SPIELART Festival: THIS PLOT IS NOT FOR SALE

European premiere

At the center of this multilingual theater collage is a trio with different perspectives: Stevan, a Serbian photographer with a mysterious "Camera Absurda", Pete, an ambitious middle-class Kenyan woman, and Kathi, a German heiress with a post-colonial guilt complex. All three want to use the camera for their own purposes - and in doing so, struggle for the right to interpret the past and the future. Based on their own cultural and social contexts, Denijen Pauljević, Gisemba Ursula and Theresa Seraphin have created a multi-layered grotesque that reveals their own entanglements in global power structures with subtle irony. Documentary meets absurd theater, historical re-enactments meet speculative visions of the future. What seems unambiguous turns out to be a complex game with identities, role models and attributions. Who owns history - and who is staging the future?
