FREISCHWIMMER Polis3000: oratorio

Mousonturm Studio 1

Performance

“We are Markus & Markus. We are also Jesus. We perform miracles and we have a mission. Christians and Non-Christians – in Polis3000 there is place for all: you are all our little sheep.” Polis3000: Oratorio is the third part of a series with which the Hildesheim theatre collective Markus & Markus attempt to cope with the absurdity of the world. In Polis3000: autonomia, they pressed charges in 2011 on title trading against Carsten Maschmeyer, founder of the AWD corporation, and Wolfgang-Uwe Friedrich, president of the University Hildesheim. At the Berlin Theatertreffen, they confronted humanity with their one-sided self-display in space in Polis3000: respondemus. Now they turn to institutionalized forms of religion in form of a multimedia oratorio. Their Polis3000 is an autonomous enclave beyond good and evil, in which the two high pressure performers transform finely researched material into erupting events with theatrical surplus value.
