DSDL is a play that is organised by harmlessness, but is played from a starting point of harm. In collaboration with the musicians from Pony Says, three different performances are created about three »life artists« (Uwe Rasch) from Stuttgart, whose rather precarious, at least not very straightforward biographies are confronted with the idealised, straightforward upper-middle-class career planning from the »The Game of Life«.

Duration: 25 minutes

The trilogy Mit Ach und Krach combines the three works versprecher (2014), KinderStücke (2019–21) and DasSpielDasLeben (DSDL 2023/24). Their intersections are fields of experience such as affection, empathy, cohesion and attempts at coping, and they were all created using a hybrid of auditory, performative and visual means.
