IN:KON:SIS:TEN:ZEN

Success stories shape how we speak and think: no sentence, interest, glance, gesture, or feeling escapes scrutiny. How can these narratives be rewritten or stripped of their meaning? Through forgotten words, strained jokes, cinematic hyperrealities, and musical melancholy, three performers attempt to break free and resist the idea of "successful biographies".

IN:KON:SIS:TEN:ZEN moves along the edge of banality and post-splatter, drawing from an aesthetic of rupture. But, and here lies the dilemma, one must be able to do this again. Through contradictions, sentences hanging in the air, and contemplative exhaustion, this evening approaches living existence despite the pressure of success and expectation, exploring openness. A game of failure that wants neither to win nor lose.

Malte Schlösser and his team attempt to escape the compulsion of success society, functioning, and omnipresent expectations. The theatre evening does not intend to succeed, yet it proceeds to succeed, forging new connections and celebrating the moment of gathering.
