New Old Fiction
One evening - three short solos about telling and listening to stories and about that which is left untold.
Maren Ada Küpper, ASJA, and Carlos Franke contribute to and share in a self-organized event and let their works enter a conversation with each other about old characters, new narratives, and re-discovered fantasies.

And so it was decided that apprentice Leslie Lachlan would spend her years of recognition on a solo mission far away in mountains that she had never been to before. Her story is one of travel, danger, injury and deep-felt emotions - and we are reading it, smoking, checking our phones, keeping her company.
This work-in-progress is a performative and literary study on solitude, on the artistic solo and on the comfort and hardship one may find in the company of fictional characters.
//Tales of Construction// ASJA
Which stories are mine to tell? Which stories are untold that are mine? ASJA gets entangled in the past and sinks into lost narratives.
Tales of Construction is a performance about learning, remembering and imagining.
//Der goldene Hund// Carlos Franke
It is told that Tantalus was rightfully punished for his greed with etern**al hunger and thirst. How did it come to this? There are different accounts.
An attempt at storytelling: About the one whose "soul thirsts as if it were body". About living with a robot vacuum cleaner, which is a gift from heaven, about technological progress and about the inability to talk about feelings. But also about the joy of dancing like nobody's watching.
