...and the damage done
Choreography, direction, and concept: Helene Weinzierl
Dance and choreography: Robert Tirpák
Lighting design: Andrea Korosec
Music: Kynos Kutis
Video and cut: Herman Peseckas / Filmstudio West
Stage: Hanno Rampelt
Costumes: Helene Weinzierl

A solo performance with video-projection that deals with the paradox of a particle within a two-faced system.
On one side, there is a huge, grand system that the particle is a part of. Yet, there is the other side: the minor system in which the particle actually exists. Although seemingly insignificant, the minor system is a firm network of immediate environment and society that a particle cannot escape from. This leads to the paradox, the absurdity of the part of the system - being confronted with what is grand and major while always being the victim of the small and minor. Always stuck at playing the small in the small.
