Theaterkollektiv storytelling engines: I don't feel it - Scenic comic reading
Friday, 17/01/2025 / 07:30 PM / House of Literature Freiburg
Why do love stories generally end badly? Why do they end at all? And what does this have to do with the age of late capitalism? In her non-fiction comic "Ich fühl's nicht" (Avant Verlag, 2020), Swedish artist Liv Strömquist explores the emotional state of today's society from a feminist perspective. Using sociological and philosophical theories, she shows with wit and verve how the self-optimization mania is turning us into narcissists and how liberal market logic is penetrating the most intimate areas of life.
The three performers from the artist collective storytelling engines immerse themselves in theatrical worlds, mix a drink in between and examine Strömquist's thoughts based on their own lives and relationships. It will be juicy, substantial, mind-opening.
