KASSANDRA

Cassandra's warnings are neither heard nor believed. With her voice and her struggle for resonance, she is at the centre of the performance around the mythological figure. Art, music, sculpture, theatre, ritual and installation intertwine for a tightrope walk between prophetic power and ineffective impotence, and truth sings with two voices in this interdisciplinary collective work. The mythical Cassandra, embodied by Julia Hagenmüller and Lena Spohn, opens up a sensually perceptible associative space for conflicts in the here and now. She stands for a female figure in whom we recognise ourselves one time and whom we like to listen to, but who scares us another time and whom we don't want to believe. Will we listen to her this time or get lost in a labyrinth of projection and reflection?
