About performance
A bitter comedy about how we actually live in Europe. A bitterly humorous avant-garde play, Yellow line speaks volumes about how we actually live in Europe. Europeans are increasingly un-free, manipulated and many Africans dreaming of a timeless consumerism are entering the continent. Theatre-goers are witness to various elements that can be encountered in Europe. A protesting artist closes herself into a cage and allows herself to be auctioned off with the money from the auction serving to help rebels in Libya, but in real life the money only helps the arms industry. A web designer allows himself to be arrested at the airport because of him crossing the yellow line that defines the space between the passengers and the restricted zone.... A Swiss cow - Yvonne - voluntarily leaves grassland to live in a forest as a hermit, which becomes the main content of the news. And whilst a manager comments on freedom, humanisation and democratisation embracing cows, people in Egypt are fighting for freedom, which they think is what lies in Europe. The writer craftily blurs the two lines to satirically and discretely address the functioning global control system. How much freedom do we sacrifice for our own security? The fear of terrorism, political exile, false humanism, conformism and consumer fetishes – what is the relationship and tension between these current phenomena? Progressive and open to new forms, the Zagreb Youth Theatre (ZKM) has prepared the staging of a modern, performance character play in co-production with the Braunschweig National Theatre directed by the great Croatian director Ivica Buljan.
