Interrobang:
Der Prozess 2.0
Der Prozess 2.0
Someone must have traduced Joseph K., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning.
One may feel quite like Kafka's protagonist in the famous novel The Trial, living in a world which is obsessed with high performance and self-control and in which we tend to turn ourselves into our very own relentless judges: Am I successful enough? Have I put my talents to use sufficiently? Do I manage to balance work, family and friends? Am I happy with my life and if not: is it not my own fault? Unlike in Kafka's novel we don't even need an outer control anymore: We happily accuse and arrest ourselves without having done anything wrong in a juridical sense. We blaim ourselves rather than society. We go and see a therapist, personal coach or yoga instructor instead of joining a union or a demonstration.
In looking back at Kafka's classic novel, which reveals striking motives quite relevant for 21st century's globalist society, Interrobang drags the inner tribunal of us self-responsible neoliberal human beings out in the open for public trial.

INTERROBANG include Till Müller-Klug, Nina Tecklenburg, Lajos Talamonti and Guests. The group develops new theatre formats in order to discuss current social phenomena and questions. In installative theatre spaces and participative game settings, the audience can experience, test and reflect on new scenic communication models. Playing with theatrical community thus becomes playing with present and possible future social forms and value systems. Interrobang performs on stages in the German-speaking countries and at international festivals (Heidelberger Stückemarkt, Impulse Theater Festival, Festival Akcent Prague, NONAME Festival Meyerhold Theatre Centre Moscow, Ivan Franko Theatre Kiev, etc.) interrobang-performance.com
