Production Details / Press Releases
Do you sometimes feel totally in the air? When you’re really bored. When you’ve somehow run out of steam. But where does the air actually go once it’s out? And can you get it back in?
In their piece, Tatiana Mejía and Kareth Schaffer explore the intangible and show how funny boredom can be. They yawn in competition with each other, stare into space, build castles in the air and sing and dance through rain, wind and clouds. And in doing so, they find endless ways to escape boredom again and again.
IN DER LUFT / IN THE AIR is an entertaining adventure full of humor and a love of experimentation and a plea for the invisible.
