IN A POIGNANT AND MELODRAMATIC EULOGY TO HUMAN SADNESS AND EMPTINESS, THE PERFORMANCE OF SCAR CITY UNFOLDS, SEARCHING FOR FLEETING MOMENTS OF WELL-BEING. TO THE UNYIELDING SOUND OF GUITAR AND PIANO, THE LAYERS OF A FRAGILE YET RESILIENT BEING ARE GRADUALLY UNCOVERED. BOLDLY, WOUND AFTER WOUND IS REVEALED TO DISCOVER WHAT LIES HIDDEN BENEATH.
THE FOUR-CHANNEL VIDEO SCAR CITY DEPICT THE TENSION BETWEEN INDIVIDUALITY AND CONFORMITY. HOW WE DEFINE OURSELVES AND THE PRESSURES WE FACE TO FIT INTO PREDETERMINED ROLES AND IDENTITIES THAT SEEMS TO BE JUST OUT OF REACH.
AFTER THE SUCCESSFULL PREMIERE IN MOLT, SCAR CITY WAS PRESENTED AT SCHAUBÜHNE LINDENFELS LEIPZIG IN SEPTEMBER 2023.
