VER_SCHLIMM_
BESSERN
A reflection on the existence as an (life-)artist
A conglomerate of faliure
a kaleidoscope of procrastination
a potpourri of fretfulness
a smogasbord of burdensome legacy
a confusion of anxiety about the future
A reflection on the existence as an (life-)artist-
GOOD EVENING and wellcome to this nights...
...
oh...eh? lights are off...wait...
.they turned the lights off...eh...hello?
There's got to be a switch somewhere...
...is anybody there? hello? ...
they cant...just like that!...all this work for...INSOLENCE! ...
***
Armed with irony and much humour today we dare to venture into the dark sides of the human mind and at the point where self-doubts dwell we flick the light on – cause bight neon light has always wiped away all self-pity! An evening about the fear of faliure, about procrastination and alleged fear of the future.
PRESS
„Especially impressive, […] the opening play set the bar high for the whole festival: The Berlin collective RETROFUTURISTEN shows the inside of a young artist‘s head in ver_SCHLIMM_bessern. Inspired by the life of universal artist Einar Schleef an emotional scenario between existencial fear and artistic hubris unfurls."
