PREMIERE
»REINHEIT« revolves around the meticulous reconstruction of a seemingly endless, compulsive hand-washing loop: a scenic artifact from the heyday of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which has dominated the everyday life of theatre-maker Oliver Zahn in recent years.

KEY VISUAL REINHEIT
This compulsive production of cleaning rituals serves as a starting point for an examination of historical and contemporary concepts of control, safety and cleanliness — individually and socially, as a civilizational motor, as a means of emancipation and oppression.
Doctor:
What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands.
Gentlewoman:
It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus
washing her hands: I have known her to continue in
this a quarter of an hour.
William Shakespeare, Macbeth
(PLAY IN GERMAN)
