An ice-cold performance between longing for immortality and fear of death. And the attempt to put everything on pause in order to save the world.
Between the longing for immortality and the fear of death, the new piece by missingdots creates utopian and dystopian scenarios of cryonics - the process by which human bodies are preserved in -196 °C nitrogen after clinical death, with the hope of being brought back to life in a technically advanced future. Is this scientific progress or a business with the fear of dying?
While acceleration is considered a survival strategy, glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising, privileged humans yearn to overcome finitude in refrigerated tanks. Why not start a frozen body revolution? Freeze everyone who is destroying the world until the world has recovered. Trick time. Put it on pause. Restart.
For their new production, the missingdots theater collective is once again working with two authors whose texts - interwoven with one another - provide the common thread of the performance. The texts were created in a joint working process and public readings with feedback from the audience.
In German language.
For ages 14 and up.
Content note: The play deals with the topic of death, among other things.
On Saturday, January 17 at 6:30 pm, the ECHOLOT: VOM EINFRIEREN UND ÜBERDAUERN - WER TRÄUMT VOM LANGEN LEBEN? will take place before the performance.
