wanja neite: artistic ensemble, performance, co-creation set & costume

[ SIGNA.DK ]

the society „DAS HALBE LEID“ („half the suffering“) has set itself the task of developing the faculty of empathy. for that purpose courses are offered where the newly devised method of identity sharing will be applied. DAS HALBE LEID invites up to 50 participants per course to spend a night among the sufferers. up until now the courses have been a well kept secret in fashinable circles. now, however, they will be made accessible to the general public.
