among things 2.0

2023
Performance,TOR40, Güterbahnhof- Areal für Kunst und Kultur, Bremen

With the performance „among things 2.0“, Katze Greeven and Toni Ehrhardt once again question human superiority over things. Driven by the question „What does interspecific communication and care look like?“, the duo „things like you & me“ explores polyphonic structures of human and non-human bodies together with five Bremen-based artists from different fields and sound artist Esther Adam.

As a former banana warehouse from the colonial era and a place of goods clearance (TOR40), we worked with materials such as huge packaging foil, cardboard boxes and ladders, with historical sound snippets, rolling boards and moving light elements. The result is a transformative performance between order and chaos, between sober organisation of bodies and delicate rapprochement between actants.
