The World is Ending and Maybe That's Kinda Hot
by Catherine Weingarten
July 24 - 26 | Neue Bühne Friedrichshain
7 hot young people gather in a generic meadow in Italy to hang and tell stories and hit on each other. They are like all kinda freaked/not rly in the best space though cause they just escaped the Black Plague, like no big deal cause they're safe now...or are they?? Each person tells the others a story and as they do, truths about girlhood and masculinity, love and lust come to light. This play asks, "Can it be kinda hot as the world ends?" while also reflecting on the power of storytelling in times of turmoil.
great thing going is an emerging ensemble of Berlin-based international theater artists brought together by a shared determination to make collaborative, contemporary theater in English.
