Live from the Sophiensæle canteen – with sandwiches, wandering photo wallpaper and baroque instruments in their luggage – matthaei & konsorten give an exclusive insight into their project Die Sumpfgeborene via Zoom. In this second of a total of three phases, the team together with the audience looks back on the test drills that took place in September 2020 at off-the-beaten-path locations in Berlin. At the same time, the ensemble invites the audience to a sneak preview of the filmnovela – and takes live questions from the viewers.

In September, matthaei & konsorten set out on scenic journeys of discovery to the edges of the city with the first part of the interdisciplinary performance Die Sumpfgeborene (The Swamp Born), in order to infuse out-of-the-way places in Berlin with baroque material. Berlin, born of swamp and named after it, slowly began to become what it is today in the 17th century. Against the opulent backdrop of the current cityscape, director Lukas Matthaei and his team plow through the motifs of the bygone era and examine them for their suitability for the present: the lust for splendor and abundance, the admiration of technology and scenery, and the need for symmetry and deception.

Director JÖRG LUKAS MATTHAEI specializes in interventions in urban landscapes. Based on documentary research on various topics, his productions create dense thematic spaces that can be experienced sensually. For his excursions into different worlds of imagination, Matthaei is always on the lookout for wayward ways of seeing and living that inspire resistance in our smoothed-out world and weaves these into his works in the form of interviews and short lectures. Under the label MATTHAEI & KONSORTEN Jörg Lukas Matthaei works together with artists from different disciplines. Since 2000, almost 50 works of various orientations have been created: From productions for the stage, installations and discourse productions to the development of new formats for urban landscapes, which have been a focus of the work for several years. Stagings by matthaei & konsorten can be encountered in all places that also occur in the lives of their actors or visitors. Recent works include COOP3000 eine neosolidarische concerngründung (Urban Arts Ruhr), BAILE BASSENA (Vienna Festival), URBAN MAGIC (Bangalore) and with the Sophiensæle most recently Im Apparat der Kriege (2014 Sophiensæle + radio version for rbb and others) and Verschwörung der Idioten. Between 2015 and 2016 they regularly presented the Idiotensalon at the Sophiensæle. matthaei-und-konsorten.de
