“Three days after the curfew was lifted, it was clear that no one was planning to leave their home.”
What happens when we settle into the isolation, and the isolation settle into us? And what when we are reminded that there is a reality outside the four walls of our home? In an Israeli-Japanese coproduction, writer Etgar Keret and choreographer Inbal Pinto present a danced short story, full of whimsical detail and dystopian humor – their personal creative adventure in COVID-19 Land 2020/21.
On five evenings (3 to 7 February, from 5.30 to 7.30 pm) of the second lockdown in Berlin, the Jewish Museum Berlin is projecting the video Outside onto the façade of the closed Libeskind building. We kindly ask that the public hygiene and distance regulations are followed in the exterior spaces in front of the building.
