THEATER an der GLOCKSEE Hannover

Some 80 years after the end of the Second World War, we still walk, sleep, live and love on its legacy: the unexploded ordnance. They lie dormant among us like an encapsulated pain that occasionally comes to the surface and triggers enormous things.

For this project development, an artistic team led by project manager Lena Kußmann is researching what it actually takes to defuse explosive situations.

A musician, a dancer, two performers, a media artist and artists in exile slip into velvet gloves and create poetic images, research and weld together, caress, beat on them and make the old destroyers resound – while new ones are already falling elsewhere.
