Das Loch in der Oberfläche
(The Hole in the Surface) A Performative Research for Miracles by äöü
… And you don’t understand. It goes beyond the laws of everyday life and nature. You ask yourself: How is that possible? An opening in the world and in the body: wide eyes, a receptive posture, open mouths. A break in the daily routine, a crack in reality.
Have you ever experienced a miracle – or at least hoped one would happen? Wouldn’t today be a good time? Yes, why not? In any case, the reports of inexplicable events show no sign of stopping: a fifteen-year-old in Nike trainers becomes a saint, statues of the Virgin Mary turn up in the supermarket next to the frozen peas, a dandelion blooms in a crack in the tarmac, and your football club finally gets promoted to the premier league.
Was that a miracle?
äöü take you on a theatrical pilgrimage to unexplained events, scientific wonders and a question that seems impossible. To the sounds of electronic harps, they start a trip from Assisi via Međugorje to Fátima and back to the Ruhr area. Navigating the realms of faith, science, hope and (theatrical) magic, äöü invite you to a poetic performance exploring what defies the laws of everyday life and nature. With a twinkle in their eyes, boundless curiosity and admitted scepticism, äöü put their antennas out. Those who believe shall be blessed. Can you feel it too?
