RADICAL MATTER
- things are what they are
In the complete orientation towards the outside, a society full of mirror images is formed, but without self-awareness. We take selfies and try to be someone else. We no longer trust ourselves. The decade of self-optimisation leaves little room for individuality. Where is the courage to do what might not fit the mould?
‘We are expected to try to fulfil clichés. It's radical to actually fulfil them.’
Freiburg choreographer and dancer Karolin Stächele responds to ‘Mainstream’ with a solo along the intersection of beauty and shame - irritating and honest. ‘Silence is sexy and it is not sexy at all...’
