injuries & remedies

Two figures ask each other questions about the many forms of pain and uncertainty we can experience in life. Are we witnessing an artistic post-show conversation? An interview? A therapy session?

In injuries & remedies, actors and theatre makers Simon Baetens and Micha Goldberg try to advise, confront, mirror and comfort each other. Thus, a constantly transforming conversation emerges, driven by one persistent impulse: the urge to keep questioning the other, convinced that our inner world reveals something about who we ‘really’ are.

The performance moves between biography and fiction, between biting humour and sincere expressions of emotion. What do we really want to know about each other? Simon and Micha take you into their internal dialogues, which gain a voice and a body through the other. With dark humour, carefully constructed self-criticism and confessions that may or may not be true, they create a world in which recognisable situations and elusive dream images flow into one another.
