Britney X
Cirque de la solitude
By MICHAEL KÖNIGSTEIN • With JUSTUS MAIER & KRISTIN STEFFEN
THUR 08 JUNE • 19.30 P.M.
Theatre • 40 min • Jaki Club
A man and a woman meet in a bar. What sounds like either the start of a joke or a rom-com is definitely one of these situations that needs no further explanation. A circus performer after the curtain has fallen, a recently dumped cop and this endless desire for something more. Can you lose yourself completely in love until that painful sense of self fades away or does love lie in the difference, the inter of interpersonal relationships. Is there a safety net in this tightrope act? Which French thinkers are at fault for this dilemma? And how is canned pineapple involved in all of this?
