We met in the stairway

Performed at the event “Open Haus”, Löwenbräu Areal

We met in the stairway originated as a text and sound work, inspired by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s theory of the five stages of grief: 1. Denial, 2. Anger, 3. Bargaining, 4. Depression, and 5. Acceptance. The texts explore each of these stages through short stories that narrate the experiences of semi-fictional characters. These narratives blend my own prose with poetic elements, offering a layered interpretation of the emotional journey through loss. Each section is accompanied by an original soundtrack I produced to complement the atmosphere of the stories. The full texts can be found under the category “Writing”.

The performance took place in the transitional spaces of the Löwenbräu, where the audience was invited to not only listen to the readings but also engage in participatory actions, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.
