OMÂ or the privileges of the potato
Compagnie بلبل Bolbol
50 mins / From 8 years old / Saison culturelle / Coproduction
- Craation 2023
- Foot juggling
It’s a creation that explores the chance of our origins and the privileges that come with them. With honesty and self-mockery, the Iranian-German artist seeks to unmask the absurdity of categorization – sometimes sincere, sometimes bitter, sometimes comic or ironic. Juggling, movement and speech complement each other to express the beauty of a diversity that is complex but not complex.
