EXIT

“EXIT” is the performance of the hour. It gains new relevance against the backdrop of current politics. Antonia Baehr dedicates this work from 2018 to an ever-present, but mostly overlooked phenomenon of western theatre buildings: the obligatory illuminated emergency exit signs. 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 fixed 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.
