ORIGINAL: nur fünf minuten

Within 10 times 10 minutes – One hour Chemnitz, the first presentation of the Free Scene of Performing Arts Chemnitz, I only got five minutes. Only five minutes! Also I never get any money! Or the attention of the press. In Berlin everything is better, but in Chemnitz … it’s enough to make you weep!

For me, performance means that I use my presence and my voice, mostly on stage. Sometimes I moderate, so I guide the audience and the guest and the topic through the evening. Another time I play, with material or different roles, sometimes with text, sometimes without text. But sometimes I only use my voice, so no one sees me.
