a love story theatre by Futur3 and ensemble. Summer Blood Cultural Festival 2016.
They touch us. They captivate us. They make us cry and sometimes laugh. Some love them and others hate them. Love scenes - there is hardly a film without them. Again and again they feed our unbroken longing for fulfilled love.
Futur3 transfers the powerful visual worlds of the dream factories to the Cologne wholesale market with an inclusive ensemble. The old auction hall becomes a film studio, the street a set. In front of a running camera, moments of unconditional devotion and cool games flash up in close-up or close-up to explore the soft core of our existence from the most diverse perspectives.

"Two actors act out the confession scene from Breaking the Waves while several colleagues film the scene and a crew at the mixers determine what appears on the screen above the scene. Film, theatre and our memory of the "original" film images mix with our own experiences. This can be as brutal as in Lars von Trier's film, it can be touching as in a love scene between an older woman and a young "guest worker" from Fassbinder's "Fear Eats the Soul", it can be funny like a re-enacted Tarzan scene.
The two fictitious interviews with the intellectuals Niklas Luhmann and Slavoj Zizek are wonderfully absurd and enlightening.
