Border

© Orpheas Emirzas

Adapted from the film by Ali Abbasi
Staging: Christopher Rüping

Instead of publishing a summary of the content of the play that awaits you this evening in the Schiffbauhalle, as is usually the case, we are complying with the wish of someone involved in the production sharing this text below. After all, we too share the desire for connection and togetherness, in private as well as in professional life, and are happy to support any attempts in this direction. Thus, at this point we introduce T. to you, first very briefly and soon in more detail:

T, Nature lover, 37 years young, good profession, 1.62 mtr
normal appearance (small scar on the coccyx)
star sign: Capricorn
financially independent,helpful and adaptable
seeks company; seeks nice people to listen to Adele, long walks in the woods (barefoot?) or to be silent together.
Everything can, nothing must. (Zurich area)

P.S.: We always get a bit dizzy when it comes to participatory theatre, so here's the all-clear that you have nothing to fear in this direction.
