Surrounded by things

Anna Kpok has collected things and stories: In their homes, basements, friends, family and strangers. They have examined the things, archived them, traced their way to us and looked at what relationships they are in. Here the things are not props, but main characters. They play on one level with the three performers, who direct their own gaze on the things and stories.

The audience decides for themselves who they want to listen to, what they want to look at more closely. In four different rooms they can pursue things or lose themselves in anecdotes at the bar. Every evening is different, everyone will experience something different - and no one will miss anything.

If you come, feel free to bring something: A thing and a story. At the end of the evening they will get a place, they will be included in the Kpok archive of things.
