Antagon BodyLAB: Falling Elephant

In einer Welt, die auf Ausbeutung und Zerstörung beruht, in der wir alle Teil dieser Zerstörung sind, wie soll man leben? Wie umgehen mit der Einsicht, dass wir uns inmitten tiefgreifender Veränderungen befinden – und dass das schlimmste noch bevorsteht? Wie können wir hinschauen, bezeugen, aktiv sein, ohne uns selbst zu verlieren?

Zwei Figuren bewegen sich zwischen Schmerz, Lethargie und Hoffnung. Auf der Suche nach der Zukunft (gestern war sie doch noch da?) begegnet ihnen lediglich ein Elefant.

“How do you live in a time of dying? I carry millennia of separation in my body, separation from our fellow human beings and from nature itself. Our ancestors were homeless and they inflicted the same on others; and that homelessness has never left us. You cannot destroy what is part of you unless you have forgotten who you are. We have forgotten. But the forgetting is not the hard part – it is the remembering that hurts.” – Sage Freda

In a world based on exploitation and destruction, where we are all part of that destruction, how do we want to live? How do we deal with the realisation that we are in the midst of profound changes – and that the worst is yet to come? How can we look, witness, be active without losing ourselves?

Two characters move between pain, lethargy and hope. In their search for the future (it was there yesterday, wasn’t it?), all they encounter is an elephant.
