ODER DOCH? is the second piece by the Raum 305 company, consisting of puppeteer JARNOTH, aerialist Moritz Haase and director Philipp Boë. In fading memories of a shared past, the two protagonists open doors to imaginary spaces that provide insights into the inner turmoil of human beings. The stage is as labyrinthine as our inner selves, where the claustrophobic cabinet mutates into the skyline of a city and ends up as the rubble heap of history. Whether on the trapeze or dancing on the floor, it is not only the puppets that are manipulated in this dizzying fever dream and astonishing parallels emerge between the human bodies of the actors and the seemingly lifeless bodies of the two figures made of fabric and wood. We accompany them on this intimate ride between flight of fancy and abyss, slapstick and thriller.
As the successor to the production WIR WOLLEN NIE NIE NIE, ODER DOCH? is part of a trilogy of three loosely linked plays about interpersonal relationships.
