Do you sometimes feel as if a veil is separating you from your surroundings? A veil you\u2019d like to lift? Do you feel more and more like you’re being watched? Are you ticklish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you been wondering for a while what eating light is all about? Do you suddenly miss your parents from time to time? Do you love photos more than anything? Do you have a laugh that isn\u2019t contagious? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Blind Variation #3 we set out on a search for truth. The starting point is Friedrich Schiller\u2019s ballad, \u201cThe Veiled Statue at Sais,\u201d which couples the ancient topos of the same name and a hungry young man\u2019s search for knowledge. As Schiller writes: \u201cIt is only one for all, but everyone sees it differently. That one thing remains true makes the differences true.\u201dThe audience plays through the evening in small groups, solving puzzles as they work their way through the story. In the process, three ways of life become three sides of the same coin, three truth seekers grab the audience by three hands. Three spaces come together, three utopias collide, and a veil remains a veil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A theater game for 12 players. Duration: approximately 50 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Schiller’s ballad \u2018The Veiled Statue at Sais,\u2019 these young media and theater tricksters have created a play whose form not only captures the major theme of the Schiller Festival (“The Critical Mass”) in a clear call for personal accountability and self-empowerment, but also reopens the Romantic discourse on the nature of truth. Schiller’s epigram “It is one for all, but everyone sees it differently; that one thing remains true makes the differences true” is what drives the production, which, despite all its playfulness, still raises fundamental questions. And doesn\u2019t make it too easy to answer them.<\/em><\/p>Bernd Mand, nachtkritik.de<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n
