Rimini Protokoll (Helgard Haug)

EVER GIVEN – eine Kipp-Punkt-Revue

With music by Barbara Morgenstern & The Sea Beats

  • Theatre
German /  With English surtitles /  approx. 150 mins.

In March 2021, the 400-metre-long and almost 60-metre-wide container ship Ever Given ran aground on an embankment of the Suez Canal in strong winds. It capsized – blocking global freight transport and world trade for six days. Was the Ever Given, with a dead weight of 220,000 tonnes plus 20,000 containers, simply too heavy? Or too big? Was there too much to be transported too quickly in order to maximise profits? 

“EVER GIVEN” is focusing on collapse. What if a person, an organism, an entire system can no longer continue as before? The protagonists on stage are people who have experienced or sought a radical rupture – confronted with a message, a stroke of fate, a diagnosis. With a nothing-goes-anymore. What does it sound like when the world gets out of rhythm?
