With humour, energy and a big cast, KGI explores forms of society beyond national and economic collectives. The group consists of old-age-pensioners, artists, refugees, unicorns, unemployed persons and children. Identities and individual fates are melted into a colourful, vibrant yet fragile picture of our present times. KGI has invited people to join them on stage and to form a compendium of biographic and historic documentarisms, of gestures and movements, obviously belonging to their time, to her and his stories. But which story belongs to whom – and who is who?
In October 2021 they will celebrate their premiere at the Zirkus Mond, a big top for circus, theatre, dance and concerts and a meeting place for the Berlin artist scene with permanent headquarters in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. The premiere opens on Friday, 08 October 2021, at 19:30h @ Zirkus Mond – Lilli-Henoch-Straße 10, 10405 Berlin.
