The whimsical ornithologist Ziggi Zuheegen lives a secluded life in a strange place that is vaguely reminiscent of a small living room in a new urban development and is engrossed in her research. To celebrate her birthday, she invites you into her sparse living room. The celebration will initially take place on a small scale. Musician Nicolas is booked to serenade her and all seems peaceful. With the visit of Ziggi's obscure aunt Roswitha, however, reality begins to crack. She administers the two a mixture of love potion and truth serum and finally leads them into the surreal world of Ziggi's subconscious: heat and rain, past and future, man and machine combine and form a kaleidoscope of human (im)possibility.
"Anthropos Ex (Machina)" combines absurd theatre, performative installation and live concert. Theater.Macht.Staat and guests from the visual arts, dance and video art and the theater music duo Kinbom & Kessner + Band will be there with music from their current album "Anthropos" (Hook Music/Theater der Zeit).
