Die Verschollenen / Os Desaparecidos (The lost)

This theatrical creation is a Co-production between O-Team, Companhia de Teatro de Braga and Pathos München. It was developed in two phases in Portugal and Germany with a Portuguese-Mozambican-Ukrainian-German cast. The story of the anti-hero Karl Roßmann is mixed with theatrical and biographical material from the international artists’ team. Everyday life, artistic creativity and the end-time visions of an author collide. The resulting (artistic) crisis becomes an all-consuming black hole in the center of the stage.

“Being displaced means losing reality. This process has structural consequences in all areas. It is not only the material things (the stuff of culture) which have changed revolutionarily, but also the ideal goods (values, models, goals) have become unrecognizable.” Vilem Flusser
