The River

Extremists despise the freedom of the individual. They disdain everything that contradicts their beliefs. Their actions are driven by the delusion that only their version of the truth matters.

Chapter 1: THEY
It portrays five scenes of destruction: a burning house, a burning person, a flaming helping hand, a burning bed, and again – the burning person.
The destructive forces stem from different ideologies yet converge in their outcome: they tear apart humanity.
These images serve as a timeless mirror of human reality.

 

Chapter 2: The Circle
The circle symbolizes unity, infinity, and the eternal cycle of nature. Through its unique design, the circle creates a space for humanity, telling stories of respect, compassion, solidarity, and human dignity.

Chapter 3: The River / Performance by Lydia Klammer / Music by Theo Jörgensmann
Within the circle – the performer. The emerging music compels movement, which opens the circle, transforming its structure into a stream flowing through spaces.
