EVERYONE’S JOY, NO ONE’S SORROW

In the organizer's words:

Participatory performance
Thematic series Common Struggles
Simone Gisela Weber

A festival of transformation! Or a culinary guild
The city is transformed into a temporary, kilometer-long collective body. People connect with their environment: they transform themselves into animals, creatures and objects. Now it's time to join in or leave the city! Carnival - an exuberant celebration of community? A huge drinking binge? A reflection of society or just like every year?

In the solo performance "Everyone's Joy, No One's Sorrow", performer Simone Gisela Weber sets out together with the audience in search of forms and ideas of community that are practised in Central European carnival traditions. The interactive performance is an invitation to merge carnival with post-humanist ideas. In a choreography of dance show, culinary art, masquerade and conversation, we examine carnival as a space of possibility: What kind of community is created when we not only perform rituals, but also question and rethink them? Can we understand carnival as a practice of transformation that connects us with other beings, perspectives and realities?
A festival of transformation emerges. A temporary guild together. Put on the mask. Be part of it. Let the game begin!
