ghost exit
The grand finale of united sorry’s yearlong project Green Conversations presents the events and experiences from several Salons in Nature, numerous conversations with flora and fauna, the conquest of the Türkenschanzpark together with political activists, and the visitation of the Vogeltennwiese as horny fauns in a psychedelic performance in the Konzerthaus basement.
An installation-like setting transforms the stage with reduced images, shadow theatre, metaphoric actions, and manipulations of time and light in a twilight zone à la united sorry. The senses are put to the test as much as common sense and reason, which should be switched off in favour of an intuitive experience of the (green) environment.
ghost exit conjures a discussion in which the trees not only have the right to a say in things, but can also dream, be upset, or even copulate with humans. This transcendental performance with embedded investigative journalism makes for a righteous end to united sorry’s green project.
The end of the world, however, will be personally heralded on 21 December after the performance of pop chanteuse Gustav with a particularly exquisite doomsday DJing. Welcome to the apocalypse!
