Is Anybody Home?

In the organizer's words:
A live film Behind this door you live, don't you? And is this your key? Is anyone home? Okay, I'm going in now ... This is your room, your own personal space, right? And this big bed, that's yours, right? All just for you! Okay, I'm exhausted. I'm going to lay down now and go to sleep. And when I wake up, I'll be safe and secure. But first, tell me ... what am I dreaming about? Gob Squad return to the Volksbühne with a new live interactive film that puts empathy and the idea of sharing the experiences of others to an extreme test. Every night the performers swap places on stage with young people from Berlin who are invited to be part of a film set in their own homes. A film in which the boundaries of privacy and ownership are continuously negotiated, sleeping in beds, and bodies are taken over. Where do you start, and where do I stop? Is this a nightmare or a dream come true? Simultaneously, images of another body appear on a fairytale quest through the streets of Berlin. What is a home outside of four walls? Where do we find the opening in the membrane of the private? To make connections instead of drawing separations. Where can we come together? In the theater? In the home of a stranger? In my body? In our thoughts? On the street? Is anybody home? In German and English. This content has been machine translated.
