Description
After 900 performances of the asylum monologues, asylum dialogues, NSU monologues, and Mediterranean monologues, now the new theater piece by author and director Michael Ruf. Droughts, floods, storms. Uninhabitable zones and distribution conflicts are spreading. The time window left for action is getting smaller. The climate monologues tell of the global struggles of various people against climate change. They provide insight into how people in different regions of the world are experiencing the effects of climate change in their own biographies. The performers repeatedly have to make existential decisions: to stay at home or to leave, between crop failures in the countryside or life as day laborers in the city, between safety and identity, between hunger and risk. The climate monologues are documentary theater. Michael Ruf conducts interviews that last several hours, sometimes several days. These interviews are then simply shortened and condensed. Nothing is invented, and the linguistic expression is maintained. Verbatim, human-centered theater. After each performance, audience discussions take place.
