sweat life

2016

The production SWEAT LIFE deals with performance as Sisyphus’ stone - physical and spiritual struggle without tangible results. An obvious feature of hard work in the field of performative art is the secretion of sweat. Extensive sweating becomes the promise of artistic devotion and expenditure: No sweat, no sweet.
What role does the quantity and quality of manufactured sweat play and how does it make time and space visible? SWEAT LIFE welds together and questions transpiration as a collective ground state in the theatre.

From and with: Sven Gey, Ksenia Ravvina, Kristina Veit
