She She Pop:
Alles Mögliche
Performance
If a wishing machine would be switched on in this room in which we come together. If all kinds of things, every idea and every imagination we speak into the microphone, would be fulfilled during the course of the evening; maybe not exactly as conceived, but still recognizable—despite all shortcomings and contradictions. If from now on nothing would be lost once it is merely spoken. If this place, our get-together, could incessantly change—into a mourning ceremony? A séance? A truth tribunal?—until we finally found ourselves in the unpredictable space of our pure, shared power of imagination.
»Alles Mögliche« (»Everything You Can Think Of« is a happening on an empty theater stage. It follows two simple rules: Everyone does what they want. But whatever happens here—it must first be publically evoked. The disarmingly simple formula combines the strictness and transparency of Conceptual Art with the chaotic richness of the spectacle. The actors prepare individually. Spontaneous cooperation and unexpected overlapping lead to a sketchy utopian image of society. What laws, boundaries and possibilities exist in this public space in which we have now come together? What other ones are conceivable? The performance starts as a ceremony and gradually turns into other unforeseen formats.
Alles Mögliche is a training of shared imagination, individual initiative and collaboration. And a celebration of the unique presence of theater.
