The walk-in, performative installation ORAKEL by the two dance artists Lili M. Rampre and Emanuele Soavi is inspired by Walter Benjamin’s essay ‘The Narrator’. Benjamin assumes that wisdom is being lost due to the increasing flood of information that permeates the lives of individuals – also because the art of storytelling is dying out. Rampre and Soavi focus attention on literature and the process of storytelling, fanning it out in movement, image and sound. Visitors are invited to embark on a visual-sonic journey and to perceive the world from different perspectives. In doing so, they themselves become actors in the space.
The experimental series format SOLO LIKE A PIG is made up of several independent performative and installative episodes emerging over the next few years, leading to a performance parcours in 2025. The basis is a research period in which Emanuele Soavi questioned his role as an author and performer and thus also that of the theater from a wide variety of sociological, historical, scientific and aesthetic perspectives during work stays in Paris, Münster and Berlin.
