Very little pretend. With Ella Schartner, Alexander de Sousa and Freja Hallberg

A conversation with With Ella Schartner, Alexander de Sousa and Freja Hallberg, respectively actors and director of the performance RATHAUS, recently presented at Konträr.

Two acts about execution, what we allow – and what we become.

Set within an absurd and unsettlingly bureaucratic universe, the work explores the relationship between everyday systems and systemic violence — not as something observed, but as something the audience is placed inside.

The performance moves from trivial office routines to actions with irreversible consequences. What initially appears administrative, rational and neutral gradually shifts into something deeply human — and deeply disturbing.
