Abstract:
Since 2012, Tian Gebing and Christoph Lepschy have collaborated on a number of theatre productions, which are distinguished—among other characteristics—by their bringing together Chinese and German texts and perfor mance cultures. Best-known among these are Totally Happy (2014), 500 Meters (2017), and Heart Chamber Fragments (2021). Taking the premiere of Heart
Chamber Fragments as an opportunity for reflection, the following conversation touches on topics such as trans-cultural theatre, displacement, different readings of texts written by Heiner Müller, Franz Kafka, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Tao Yuanming, and divergent understandings of humour. In the last part, it documents the exchange of ideas between Tian and Lepschy for possible future collaborations.
