How much closeness is possible between people who live faraway from each other, who do not know each other, who are separated by continents, cultures and generations? What happens when adults in Europe talk over the phone to teenagers in Australia about vital and intimate topics such as sexuality, shame, sorrow, age, death and the future of the planet? And how does theatre work in the absence of physical presence?
›Body of Knowledge‹ is an invitation to engage in conversation, to participate in an exchange between far away bodies about things regarding the body. The phone line becomes the stage, the teenagers calling from their rooms in Australia become the performers and the adults – answering the calls from their home – the audience asked to respond to the teenagers’ burning questions.
