enTmenschT [DehumaniseD]
A music theatre installation by Line Tjørnhøj and Signe Klejs
Living in a post-humanistic society based on algorithmic power misuse, we have lost the right to be a subject. It’s a reality full of psychiatric diagnosis, and humans moulting and shedding skins.
enTmenschT collects and displays unbearable human emotional debris found in our Western culture’s collective Memoirs and sheds merciless light on the moment where humans, through their behaviour, cross an inner ethical line and turn into Beasts.
