Alone on his sailing ship KATE MOSS. On board: a man shortly before Cape Horn. The goal: to sail around the world. In his logbook, he records coordinates, daily routines and insights. In a polyphony of soliloquies and dialogues, dreams and visions, the insight matures that "freedom is an apprenticeship". Towards the end of his journey, he is faced with a decision: should he submit to the desire to belong to society or go his own way in the solace of solitude?
Christian Kortmann says: "I am concerned with questions that fundamentally preoccupy us in this society. Being alone and loneliness are a single-handed sailor's daily bread and butter, indeed: the fundamental working condition. The protagonist seeks out this solitude and makes it enormously productive. In dealing with the single-handed sailors, I also came across the term "loneliness love" for the first time, which I had never heard before." (taz 13.2.2022)
