Und alle Tiere rufen: dieser Titel rettet die Welt auch nicht mehr (monkey gone to heaven) ein requiemmanifesto of extinction

In the organizer's words:

"and all the animals are shouting: this title won't save the world either
(monkey gone to heaven) a requiem manifesto of extinction"
by Thomas Köck

"you have probably already guessed it
this is not a play
this is the realization
that the tipping point
is behind us"

"This is not a play," writes playwright Thomas Köck, calling his text a "requiem manifesto". In fact, "und alle tiere rufen..." is a requiem for all the extinct animals that once populated our planet before humans wiped them out. A lament for the man-made extinction of species. And thus also an indictment of humanity, which - by maltreating creatures and nature - is ultimately working towards the extinction of its own species. "Why did we choose extinction?" - "Why did we choose extinction?" Köck asks provocatively in this play that overrides the laws of theater, just as the activists of Extinction Rebellion disregard the law in civil disobedience. "und alle tiere rufen..." is an angry manifesto against doom and precisely in its rejection of common theater conventions: lustful theater - performed in Christoph Leibold's production for Theater 5 by an ensemble of very young players who claim their right to a future that the generations before them have put at risk.

"It's an evening like an incessant volley of punches - in the stomach, against the head and somehow also right in the heart. And all at the same time."
