Thanks for Listening

Under the title Thanks for Listening, we bring three stories to the stage in which humans meet non-human individuals: a cow, a robot and a rock. These encounters revolve around the attempt to overcome loneliness, to build relationships, to enter into conversation with one another and to live and experience care - across the boundaries of the species.
Two stories pose questions about grief and support: one deals with the human attempt to support a grieving cow. On the other, a robot accompanies a dying person in their final hours. In the third story, a person looks at and explores a rock and asks himself: What is life? Where does living together begin? And how can I ever get out of my skin?
A central component of the project is You - a moving sculpture by Amon Ritz, specially developed for the production, which embodies the cow, robot and rock on stage. In three episodes, three players encounter this technical co-player, which interacts with them partly autonomously and partly under control.
