Who are you?

We are a duo of one actress/ writer and one musician/ fine artist.

What can we expect from the Performance?

The two of us met in August 2020, when we all worked on different shows at the TAK theatre of Liechtenstein. We soon discovered our shared passion for performances that combine soundscapes and valuable knowledge in the fields of biology and neuroscience. Together we aim to playfully explain biological processes in the human body. In this performance we focus on neurotransmitters such as “Dopamine”, also known as the “happiness hormone”, which is, among other things, released in the human body while a person is going on stage to speak in front of an audience. The feeling of being valued by others who listen, solely on the fact of your performance causes a dopamine flow which can give us, in the best case, a reward effect and positive emotional experiences. In this performance we are going to focus on peoples’ psyche as well as their physical constitution while being on stage: What is going on in our psyche, when we speak in front of an audience, how does our body react to these “unnatural” circumstances of having to “prove” itself in front of a mass of people? We are going to explain these questions in an artistic and individualistic way with sound, visuals and speech.
