TRANSFLEISCH / TRANSFLESH

"... a performance with sucking effect and real expansion of consciousness, with an almost drug-like or almost spiritual soul-raising effect. It goes on a really well timed journey to the limits of perception, to which one should open oneself completely, as far as the inner and outer pain limits are reached, then one experiences oneself as a changed and changeable person, to whom so much is guaranteed, if one endures it, what really ear, body and eye bewitching or deafening works, then a very great experience is given and proportionate, but even if it does not please, then one is ready on the part of the makers with admirably sympathetic openness to face the discussion. You have to look at it, especially since the text and the whole succeed in triggering the questions and also the very big questions in retrospect through a reverberation of the effect and of individual performance elements: Life and death, brain and consciousness, what is real, what is truth, to what extent the character of the stream in the synapses as simulation determines the world, the truth or our consciousness of reality ... The end of effects and consciousness stays open ... very strong applause ... but also skeptical remarks ... I was thrilled, especially since this is a legal drug equal to the cinematic work of art "Koyanisquatsi", which can be purchased for less than 20 euros. And besides, art sometimes has to be an imposition. We have so much official soft-washed art, and who, if not the OFF theatre, can do such a thing and take such a risk." (namkoartist, 17.Nov.13)

"... In this bizarre thunderstorm of acoustic and visual signals, actor Daniel Berger talks about the development of thoughts that transcend all imaginable boundaries. As strange as the stars is the slippery mass shown in the picture, which is comparable to the emergence of an alien. This cocktail of sensory impressions increased by the media has a very intense effect, following the formless states of the real. Of course, there is no room left here for thinking about the construction of thinking. The performance seems more like a blow to the forehead of its viewers than to lead them into the labyrinths of neurology" (Thomas Linden, Kölnische Rundschau 15.Nov.13)
