Of pearls and swine: a bacchanal on the edge of the abyss.
‘SCHWEINEREI’ is a disruptive performance about the end of a world order. Lieselot Siddiki immerses you in a sensory bacchanal of wild opulence, slumbering fear, and shifting power relations. In a bunker that is both a palace and an amusement park, two figures prepare for one last exuberant meal, while outside the revolution knocks on the door.
Siddiki presents a paradise that turns out to be rotten on the inside. With the playful but sharp text of Barbi Marković and the soothing sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ‘SCHWEINEREI’ is a spot-on narrative about decadence on the edge of the abyss.
