In the organizer's words:

"You're too loud!" You're too much, you're embarrassing, too sensitive. Crying or even screaming in public is frowned upon in society, it's too real, it pulls you out of the anonymity of the crowd - horror! Crying, getting angry, laughing out loud, dancing - that's humanity at home. Women in particular need to be small, passive and appropriate in their bodies and emotions. Hysteria is for your own head. But the more you squeeze and squeeze, the more the seams of society burst - we want strong love, strong anger: we want to feel, feel, feel.

As long as we don't have to see it. Not in the subway, not behind a bar, not in the bedroom. The walls we build around our humanity lead to windows from which we fall.

In "MAUER '26", 21-year-old conceptual artist LIA confronts the audience with their own disgust at being human. Through the video installation "Steine, Dunkelheit, Fensterfall" (2026) full of shame and the 3-day performance "Mauer 26″ (2026) à la Abramovic, the Munich-based artist pushes herself to her physical and emotional limits; all with the tongue-in-cheek question: Do you think that's too much?

Before and after the performance, visitors have the opportunity to discuss the work with the artist.
