SECHS SCHWESTERN
Bühnenstück von Lea Moro
In Sechs Schwestern begegnen sich drei Menschen bei der Arbeit und zugleich in ihrem Wohnzimmer. Während Hände und Seile in Bewegung sind, lassen sie ihren Gedanken freien Lauf. Sie sprechen mit sich selbst, zueinander und mit dem Publikum: Knoten für Knoten träumen sie von der Zukunft, sinnieren über das Glück und die Arbeit, verzweifeln und schöpfen Hoffnung. Eingewoben sind Fragmente aus Tschechows Drei Schwestern (uraufgeführt 1901) und eine offene Audio-deskription, die für alle Menschen im Publikum hörbar ist.
Die Performer*innen Emmilou Rößling, Lau Lozza und Minh Duc Pham nehmen sich den Gedanken, Gefühlen und Handlungen unterschiedlicher Figuren aus Drei Schwestern an und verhandeln vielschichtige Affekte und Dimensionen menschlicher Beziehungen – die Suche nach Liebe, die Sehnsucht nach Gemeinschaft, das Aufbegehren im Kollektiv.
In einem Prozess des Verknüpfens, Entknotens, Loslassens und Neu-Verbindens wird deutlich, dass der schwesterliche Wunsch des «weg von hier!» möglicherweise nicht der alleinige Ausweg ist.
Die Suche nach einem Anderswo und die Auseinandersetzung mit Sinn und Arbeit aus Tschechows klassischem Werk verbindet sich mit der Frage nach einer neuen oder anderen Gemeinschaftlichkeit – der Verschwesterung.

At the very end of the room is Lisa Biedlingmaier’s video work MANA (2022). The title refers to the Hawaiian name of life force and is an energy healing code. We enter a mystical sea underworld, full of light and movement, and replete with macramé things. Often considered to be a treacherous place, this sea floor is peaceful and poetic. Filmed in a cenote (a natural deep-water well) in Yucatan in Mexico, these sites were once considered to be portals to the Mayan underworld. Biedlingmaier plays with our perception. The viewer might perceive the inanimate objects as living creatures. (A phenomena called Pareidolia.) This special turn of mind transforms sailing rope macramé into seahorses. Or one might consider the formations to be ancient artefacts. Their graceful gravitational dance and shapes trigger connections to the archaic, perhaps to a collective shared memory. Psychologically and mythically, water is the most common symbol for the unconscious mind. It is the realm of feelings, dreams and creation. The artist invites the viewer to delve within. It is a consideration on love, one beyond a tunnel-vision perspective and one that celebrates intricacy, tolerance and sentience.
