The ensemble of “My body is a cage” takes a critical look at the education system. ©Sina Kuhlins, Olaf Mönch
Trapped in an outdated, unattractive, immobile body - are we playing Faust or are we at school? In their free adaptation of Goethe’s Faust, the group questions what education means today - who defines it, who has access to it and where it reaches its limits. Trapped in old thought patterns and inner blockages, Faust makes a momentous pact for a moment of fulfilment. The production reflects the conflict between knowledge and physical self-determination and poses the question of whether our education system treats more symptoms than enables real change.
