Between preserved cherries, a bank account filled with expectations, and the nose of an unknown father, a house full of things begins to take shape. notsopretty develops a play about memories that fade, about objects that endure as witnesses to the past; about bureaucracy, emotions, and inequality. Who inherits things, and who is left out? What is your life like when money no longer matters? And how many zeros does a billion actually have? A House Full of Stuff is an invitation to negotiate, reflect, and redistribute, with integrated audio description and musical composition. Drawing on personal experiences, the three performers turn the practice of inheritance into a performative testament. And in doing so, they play with legal and contractual formalities, biographical and fictional narratives, personal accounts, and interviews.
In spoken German, with integrated artistic audio description and surtitles in English.
