Production Details / Press Releases
“EXIT” is dedicated to an ever-present phenomenon of western theatre buildings: the obligatory lighting of emergency exit signs. Like many theatre artists, Antonia Baehr has also made continuous efforts to suppress this “visual noise” that makes a real blackout impossible. Here, however, she makes them the stars of her lecture performance. “EXIT” takes us into a sphere between light and dark, where the green glow confronts us with the supposedly xed oppositions of “inside” and “outside”, “safety” and “danger” or “body” and “image.” It is a dream journey through the things that theatre tries to repress and the phantasm of the Western image of humanity it has helped to create.
