Exodus (Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt + Andreas Liebmann)

Performance-Konzert

A Swiss-Danish family travels to Sicily. They visit a house in the mountains called Mondo Nuevo. This is the provisional home of nine Nigerian men, who are recovering from a boat trip and waiting for documents. The north-European guests and the inhabitants exchange songs for songs, stories for stories and establish temporary friendship. Time is killed with ping-pong.
EXODUS is a performance concert by and with family Liebmann-Schmidt. Their tale of the new Europeans deals with concrete encounters, and stories exchanged between travelers from North and South. Inspired by medieval tradition, the tale is sung on the melody of the Danish ballad “Kongebørnene”, and refers to a valley on the other side of the mountains – a place so far away that the audience has to trust what they are told.

Venue Info:

» Sophiensæle

The Sophiensæle is one of the most important locations for German-speaking independent art-production. Artists from Berlin, as well as the national and international theatre-scene are invited to produce and present their works here. They are selected on the basis of their artis-tic concepts, contents, and working schemes. The theatre is home to cultural discourse and a vast mix of artistic genres – from theatre, dance and music, to performance and visual art - which complement each other and enjoy a productive dialogue. Alongside many young artists searching for new theatrical languages and forms of expression, a number of established artists and companies have longstanding partnerships with the Sophiensæle.
