Athina Lange + Pawel Aderhold: Whatremainsofme – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Athina Lange + Pawel Aderhold:
Whatremainsofme
The language of our senses gives us the form in which we cast our perception of reality. Everything is finely tuned to each other. So that we can make contact with this reality without much thought. But who am I and what remains of me when this precisely synchronised orchestra, this habitual interplay of the senses, is disturbed? When perception changes - and I am powerless over it. Is the world we can see, hear, feel, taste and smell so naturally reality? Or is there another reality that goes beyond our senses?
Between coming of age and horror trip, enhanced with text fragments by Heinrich Heine, Rainer Maria Rilke and Lewis Carroll, the duo Athina Lange and Pawel Aderhold develop a performance in spoken and sign language that illuminates a special way of being between the senses. While whatremainsofme is reminiscent of an illustrated psychosis à la Sarah Kane, the piece poses questions about our "normal" form of existence anew - and sharpens the view for a different kind of reality.
