Damit hab ich nichts zu tun (TheaterLabor-Berlin – Vera Hüller)

How does it feel when you tell your favourite story about yourself and silence sets in, leaving everybody embarrassed? So what’s the story you have never told? What do you have to do to lose your sense of belonging? Have you already done it and are keeping it a secret? By the way: did you just blush?– Putting shame on others is an instrument of power. The moment we lose face, we enter the limbic realm, and the defence strategies of shame take over: Attack, torpor or flight. But why do we feel so ashamed when, despite all our efforts, we don’t meet the expectations placed on us? Four experts fight their way through swathes of shame and share the unspeakable with the audience (IN GERMAN!). The topic: … whew The production: … quick and dirty The actresses: … know what they’re talking about.
