Die Lage

In the organizer's words:

"Rent is the social issue of our time (...)
Rooms are getting smaller
And bigger at the same time
But not for us"

What to do when the housing market becomes the scene of existential struggles? In Die Lage, Thomas Melle describes the competition for housing as a major social issue of our time. Apartment viewings are mutating into casting shows whose applicants have to reveal their most intimate details - even though they are actually looking for safe spaces. The fear of being homeless is growing in all social classes. "I want to live in my life, not live in rooms," complains one of the characters.

Director/choreographer Katja Wachter and the bachelor's degree course in acting use Melle's text to pose the question of how we can find our place in a world in which living spaces are becoming increasingly inaccessible. An architecture of movement and language.
