YOU: YOU:

"Your apelike state, gentlemen, assuming such a thing exists in your past, cannot be further from you than mine is from me. Everyone who walks the earth feels that certain tickling on the heel: the little chimpanzee, like the great Achilles."

(An academic report, Franz Kafka)

«Ihr Affentum, liebes Publikum,
sofern Sie etwas derartiges hinter sich haben, cann Ihnen nicht ferner sein als mir das meine. An der Ferse aber kitzelt es jeden, der hier auf Erden geht:

the small Schimpansen as the large Achilles »

(Ein Bericht für eine Akademie, Franz Kafka)

YOU: YOU:
A show composed of burlesque scenes that ask us questions like: Who lives more lively? The ape or the man?

Who has the freedom to be free? And who is actually trapped?

It's about union and opposition between ape and man. It's about control and eruption.

________________________________________________________________________________

It's not about art. It's not about skill. It's about life, and therefore about finding a language for it.
