The Scapegoat moves under the layers of expectations and reason. Located in the world of the subconscious and senses, poetry and brutality, the basis of the performance is the working group’s own dark and destructive thoughts, which they try to hide from the light of day.

The performance makes use of literature and memories accumulated in the body of loneliness, outsiders and madness with the aim of breaking the apparent reality. What kind of encounters arise when subconscious impulses break through the norms?

Combining dance, literature, video and sound art, the performance explores the human being as a multi-personal and fragmented entity with many overlapping self-images. It asks: what are the sins of Western people today – or, on the other hand, the virtues?
