schweigen impossible


Fotos: Florian Krauss

a piece on communication, dealing with the different forms and kinds of understanding or being understood – or not. The main focus of the piece lays on Andre Nittel, an actor in wheel chair and with as many spasms as one can imagine – being almost unable to communicate, at least this is what it seems on the first view.. Communication on different levels are celebrated and misleaded in this piece of humor and hidden darkness: sign language meets bodily communication (gesture, dance), verbal communication finds its dead ends during home episodes and music translates emotion.
