Chosen
In November 2011 I attended the open platform of the Tracing Mobility expo @ Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin.
The earth is over-populated. There is not enough wealth to provide the luxury of social and economic activity to everyone. In “Chosen” the audience can decide who’s able to participate in modern society and who isn’t. Chosen is a ‘game’ in which the audience decides who can be part of the chosen ones and who can’t.

in 2013 i changed the story of the Performance a little.

They say we have to be aware… Aware of the things that happen in this world, of how unfair everything is divided, aware of our part in the system. But don’t you just want to be able to live without having to feel the guilt of the inequality in this world? Tonight I want to give you an opportunity to get rid off the guilt. After tonight you will be able to enjoy western lifestyle to the fullest. Because you deserve it! Because you are CHOSEN!

The new version of Chosen i performed at the 100° Berlin Festival 2013 “VIER-TAGE-MARATHON-FESTIVAL DES FREIEN THEATERS” in the Sophiensaele. and at the KNOCK KNOCK performance night in the neuköllner Bar Schloss Neuschweinsteiger

Reaction from the audience:
“I participated in Chosen in November 2011. Within a very short time social and political frameworks and processes were revealed. You yourself and the other participants function as a immediate mirror of society. This play is one of the kind that keeps on popping up in my mind repeatedly at certain moments.”
