DER ELEFANT IM RAUM
A devised play about collective responsibility for the climate crisis
Stage, costume and video design
Theater Chemnitz
Onsite and online as VR version
2021
There's a fat, pink elephant in the middle of the room. You somehow try to ignore it as best you can. Using the metaphor of the “elephant in space”, we approach one of the most pressing issues of our time: climate change. We all know the facts and figures - but what feelings does this future perspective trigger in us? How do we deal with these facts? Why do we tend to procastinate on this subject in particular? And is a pink plastic elephant even allowed on stage – well, evil is often very banal.
Together with Maja Grahnert, Liza Mattiuzzo, Gabriel Tauber, Tina Hübner, Morris Weckherlin and Lauretta van de Merwe
Designed in collaboration with Tina Hübner
Dramaturgy by Kathrin Brune
