As I laid down my heart and discovered the depths of my lungs (2024)

Dir. Sascha Anna Schall & Hannah Wimmer

Dancing the line between laughter and sorrow, love and rage, the characters embrace both the beauty and the raw edges of what it means to care for each other.

“I care for you
not always for myself 
I am a care body 
I care care care
I have always carried care
will always carry care 
I am a care body”

laughing at each other’s vulnerabilities and strengths, the rotation of the ribcage, where the heart is in the middle, lungs following and expanding. Essential elements of life that operate in unison yet often struggle against each other.

Through their dynamic foreplay, friends become lovers, and lovers become something even more profound. Diving into the pulse of punk and the messy celebration of embodied clownesque resistance. 

This is a performance for anyone who has ever felt the push and pull of being in connection with (an)other.This is a night for those who dare to feel deeply, enjoy a good slap, still cling to teenage fantasies and embrace to be “the fool”.
