About the Piece

whereareyouadam_00_560

Astrid Hungerbühler, Frajo Köhle

The skeleton of a withered tree on the front edge of the stage... center stage Red Riding Hood with her basket; in the background the soothing/disquieting initial tones of Smetana’s symphonic poem Die Moldau. A graffiti marks the beginning of the 90-minute sound/body theater performance and at the same time poses the central question of the whole piece: "Where would we be if everyone said where would we be, and nobody went to see where we would be?" (after Kurt Marti)
