i am in Leipzig, to give a workshop, So i am back in the town, where i made already three different theatre pieces. I started to know the place very well, it feels like coming home in a way, but something changed, and i discover that it is the way i see it. I discovered that I changed. I am older, of course, but i feel as if something important happened with me in the meantime.
I have no idea what. Only that my attitude to my body changed, and as a consequence of this my attitude to my work and how my work is appreciated changed. I am in peace with what i do, and i trust that it will find its resonance, without me pushing or questioning it.
“love will finds its way” was a song which i used for a project with prisoners, a long time ago, but now i want to change this song in “life will find its way”. It is hardly me to decide, where life brings me. Th eslogan “listening is a political act” starts with my private life.
the cafe of the theatre where i work, today there is a meeting of the left wing politicians in leipzig, there is free sekt, and three musicians of south america. the politicians don’t applaud, hardly listen to the songs, they drink their free sekt, and talk, they act as if they are very animated ( after a few drinks). i ask myself why they asked the musicians to play. It is beautiful music.
