„If The Kids Are Divid:ed…“
Performance Music & Sound Theatre & Performance
The political categories have become totally jumbled: Where is right, where is left? Where is up, where down…? In the so-called hyper politics, everyone is confused, hyperactive, and burnt out all at the same time. Berlin collective andcompany&Co. searches for the root causes. In a mixture of lecture concert and live audio drama, they ask: When did the political become this personal? And how can we work and think in such disoriented times without contributing to its disturbance ourselves?
Berlin-based andcompany&Co. are obsessed with stories and histories. With their pieces full of exuberant word play and teeming pop culture quotes, the collective has been bringing distinctive political theatre to the stages for more than 20 years: Capitalism, communism, colonialism, and what it all has to do with the current climate crisis – remixed.
