«Grand Prix» Stockholm, Jury Prize (STOFF)

There are times of the «I», and there are times of the «We». Eras in which we are concerned with community, and eras in which the belief in the individual determines the spirit of the times. Today, promoted and reinforced by media and mainstream popular culture, we make room for the narcissist in its most extreme form. (Der Spiegel)

«Egoland» investigates our Ego and the subtle impersonal and global forces which leave us exposed and vulnerable to any new dogma, political movement, religion, populist sentiment or heroic figure. Walking the tightrope of fiction, true story and alternative fact, «Egoland» entangles its audience in a volatile mix of celebrities, nationalistic ideals and role models against a backdrop of an eroding sense of community and populist rage.

The award-winning Ensemble SRSLYyours («1st Jury Prize»/National Award MilanOff, «Best Performance on Berlin Stages»/Zitty, «Grand Prix» Stockholm/STOFF) questions our motivations and choices to live as critical citizens or to remain lost particles in a silent mass, pulsing to the rhythms of powerful forces we cannot understand, partake in, or respond to.
