“In the beginning there was shame.”
There are many reasons to be ashamed: underarm sweat, being different, being touched or being touched, unemployment and poverty, depression and loneliness, defamation, exhaustion, family, loss of face, skin rashes, Heidi Klum, the so-called subtle differences and the climate catastrophe, the intimate area, dirty fantasies, illness, K-pop, stereotyping, shitstorms, bowel movements, insecurity, Twenty4Tim...
Shame is a feeling that almost everyone knows. It has many faces and is present everywhere and at all times. But why is it so difficult for us to talk about it? It's like the elephant in the room. And that elephant is also on the stage at Ballhof Zwei, which the four performers share with the audience. Making elephants speak requires courage and sensitivity, but it is nowhere near as exhausting as constantly repressing elephants and not talking about the sore spot - shame.
