19:45 Introduction to the piece
20:00 Presentation of «Endlich Schaumbad» Moment poetry for adults, a shimmering light, poetic piece about life in the here and now. A clown sits in her nostalgic living space with the transience in the foam bath. She seeks relaxation, wants to hold on to her daily routine, but what she encounters is finitude.
«I always forget the most important things,» she notes. What she has forgotten, she no longer knows in the next moment, because one breath and a pile of dishes later, she already finds the beginning of a new memory, from which she lets herself be carried away. With the help of old objects, she creates changeable foam figures, makes them dance, fly, and have conversations with each other.
With the material of foam and soap bubbles, in which fragility and transience reside, the artist creates moment poetry. From a meeting comes a farewell, and as figures emerge, change, and pass away, tragedy and comedy touch: Like on a carousel, a figure spins around on an old umbrella until it literally loses itself in the air. Two lovers share a bench and merge.
In the finitude of the moment – and thus of life – pure happiness becomes tangible.
Lisa Bögli invites you to pause, dream, and forget for the duration of the piece. With foam figures, soap bubble art, clowning, dance, and without many words, she leads to the edge of time; to where freedom in the spirit becomes perceivable. Duration: 60 minutes
