Showcase Beat le Mot’s piece Alles finally solves three unresolved questions of humanity. First: how to turn shit into gold. Second: how to breathe life into a lump of clay. And third: how to build a perpetuum mobile. Accompanied by the clickety-clack of wooden eternity machines, Maori eurythmics, magicians, filibuster speakers, soup kitchen cooks, golems and homunculi will quarrel over the most beautiful and the most ridiculous detours to salvation. And they will shine their light on the audience with overhead projectors, moons made of glass cleaner and florescent sea anemones, with a spirit stroboscope, with disco balls, lasers, mirrors and the golden pot. The light shines as far as Atlantis, where Anselmus, the Archivist Lindhorst, Pinocchio, Serpentina, the Schwendimann, the Seraphim, William Blake and everything and everyone are. In Atlantis, the surfaces have disappeared and we see things as they really are. Endless.

“Optical wonders and automatic apparatures right out of Leonardo da Vinci’s study. A phenomenal mantra from the depths of theatrical alchemy.“ Nachtkritik (30.11.2011)
