Goosebumps

What does it mean to voluntarily enter a theatre space? To be part of a performance, whether as a performer on stage or as a viewer in the audience hall? To consciously expose oneself to the tension on the scale from successful to failed? To surrender to the crazy mixture of adrenaline and expectation, to produce authenticity and to consume fake?

Three performers are ready. They have desire. They set everything in motion: physically, vocally and emotionally, to reach the audience through their artistic means. They want to get to the musculus arrector pili - in other words, they want to get under the skin. Not with the one big drama, but with different performative exercises. They jump into their tracksuits and start out as touch machines. They work themselves to emotional and physical exhaustion. What is it all for? To touch them.

missingdots works together in this constellation for the first time. The artistic team moves from the sense of touch to the examination of touch to staging strategies that provoke the so-called goosebumps moment.
