Marcel Schwald – TOGETHER

General interest in the meaning of collectivity, the sense of belonging together, was the starting point for «Together», the latest production by the Basel-based director Marcel Schwald. Is it actually true that everyone is capable of a certain level of social cooperation? How do you find common ground in an age of individualism? And what would the slogan of the Swiss Social Democratic party «For everyone, not just for a few» really mean if it was actually taken seriously? Based on Richard Sennett’s idea of <social cooperation>, seven performers set themselves the task of imagining humankind as a team.
