Quick Info
Of thawed primeval dogs and the vulnerability of the earth.
‘Don't you want to ... sleep?’ ‘No. I don't close my eyes any more. I'd rather stick toothpicks between my eyelids. I didn't look for a second and the lake decided to leave.’
The vulnerability of the earth and our bodies is more tangible than ever. The glaciers are melting, the sun is shining brightly. And yet we still want to survive. Grelle Tage shows snapshots of landscapes that have disappeared, lakes that are drying up and bodies that are reappearing. Like a 13,000-year-old dog that emerges from the ice and meets Jo. Together they decide to close the gaping holes in the earth. With whatever they can find at the nearest DIY store. On their journey, they encounter forgotten places in Brandenburg, mammoth hunters and dubious archaeologists.
Director Caroline Kapp deals with the contamination of bodies and landscapes as well as the blank space of feminist historiography. Grelle Tage is her first work at Schauspielhaus Bochum.
