Die Borderline Prozession (The Borderline Procession)

A music, art, theatre and film installation: Totaltheater of philosophy. Kay Voges surveys today’s world as a raging, image-spewing machine and fathoms its effects on modern states of consciousness. Every spectator has a different insight into the monumental ten-roomed building complex, decked out in tasteful retro middle-class chic. They see atmospheric still lives, inspired by artists like Edward Hopper or Gregory Crewdson, and take their mental pick from the music medley and thunderstorm of quotations playing over it all. A procession of 23 performers circles them, carrying incense and singing as though to ward off the world spirits gone mad. Soon, the initially banal everyday life becomes a fortress against an increasingly escalating crisis that breaks through the cozy interior and the varnish of civilization. “Borderline Procession” is a reflection on the terror of simultaneous events, which we all ingest incessantly, like addicts, through the media. A meditation on the general confusion of the world.
