Henrike Iglesias is UNDER PRESSURE. In a brilliant, interactive competition show, the collective addresses the omnipresent pressure to perform in our turbo-capitalist society. The performers compete against each other and the audience gets to decide which one is “THE BEST” Henrike. In doing so, they try to subvert the violent and disciplining categories of Winners and Losers, hot or not, a photo or no photo, and to lead them ad absurdum. And they do so by failing night after night in front of an assembled audience.
The performance can be watched not only in the theater, but also at home on the screen. Ratings can be made live or remotely at the touch of a button.
