Love the Moment

In the organizer's words:

Love the moment

Loneliness is a chameleon. It hides behind language barriers, disguises itself as social anxiety or shows itself in the quiet seclusion of introversion. But no matter what face it wears, the feeling of being isolated remains the same.

The international art collective Coll3ktiv 's latest project "Love the Moment" is dedicated to precisely this area of tension. In a world that demands constant networking, the ensemble poses the radical question: does loneliness necessarily have to be negative? Or is the acceptance of silence an opportunity to love the moment in a completely new way?

The instinctive impulse when faced with loneliness is often to flee. But what happens when we resist this urge? If we don't avert our gaze, but instead face it?

Coll3ktiv invites you to question the gravity of isolation through a lively, hybrid organism of musical, performing and projection improvisation. It's about having the courage to pause in difficult times and face yourself in the mirror - without a mask, but with the hope of finding peace in the here and now.

Join us on this journey between self-perception and the perception of others. Let's find out together whether we can not only endure the moment, but truly love it.
