Emil Leysen, Antje Verstaen & Damla Cengiz, We can't help ourselves

In ‘We can't help ourselves, and there is nothing we can do about it’ Emil Leysen, Antje Verstaen and Damla Cengiz get to work with the legendary ship The Endurance and the all-encompassing feeling of powerlessness. In this visual performance, forming a world to which man is subservient is central. We seem to want to change the world, but what happens when the world seems to change man? More than a story about Shackleton's expedition, the performance is above all **an ode to the unnameable capacity of a group and the unlimited power of nature**. Emil, Antje, and Damla look for a form of aesthetics that not only touches but also amazes. In a time when superficial consumption often prevails, they long for a total experience in which disciplines merge: music, theater, visual art, scent, light, and technology become an organic whole. Everything is one, everything is everything! 'There is almost nothing left to see but a snow-covered mountain, with only a small piece of ship's mast sticking out above it. They took the flag away after lighting the red firework, and then they returned to their old ways. I will forget the cold The cuts on my fingers are fading Eventually there will be no proof I’ve been here. What is left is a memory, but the memory will be untrue cause even the memories change. Stupid stupid me Stupid me' For this performance, you can use your art academy discount (KA). This is a company performance.
