The AGMYSTERIUM is the settlement of the author/performer with himself, which unfolds on his body in the form of a durational performance. It brings to the fore the question of the relation between the tangible, earthly, everyday and the sacred, poetic, transcendent. With the desire to transcend his own individuality, he looks autobiographically into the past and lays out memories as an obstacle course for universal questions: coming to oneself as the search for meaning; memory as the bearer of identity, its deceitfulness and simultaneous fatality; solitude as the basis of faith; and the unexpectedness of transcendent feelings in the small moments of existence. We were clearly mistaken when we imagined god greater than us.

It is the wonder of life as a great mystery on the elusive ground between detail and universe, moment and eternity, footstep and journey. It is a liberation from one’s own subjectivity and thus a departure from a rationally guided narrative. It is an approach to the associative, intuitive, dreamlike and also spiritual.

It’s a farewell to the time when “we were loved like children, for no reason, for the very fact that we exist.”*

In terms of forms, it reaches for two theatrical means – durational performance and butoh – and relies on their immanent element : absolute presence. It is precisely and only with this kind of positioning in the here and now that the possibility of a dimension beyond opens up.

Entrance is possible throughout the performance.
