MASS / MASS.K

In the MASS project, we focus on the research of the theme of self consciousness and self-determination. We analyse the means and methods that we as humans use to help build our own reality and identity in the context of today’s society. What do we consider to be important and what defines our existence and function in society nowadays? How do we analyse and judge ourselves? What things help us feel genuinely true to ourselves without just filling in the expectations of others? We all are part of a mass, we all are affected by the images around us and for all our futile attempts and struggle to be original we all are becoming part of a unified mass consisting of all other beings.

MASS.K is a special outdoor version of the performance MASS.

“Be yourself!” You know the phrase. But how many masks do we try on before we find who we really are? And do you even like your own face? One ego, one MC, and you. A high-energy street show that confronts the search for the self in today’s virtual world. MASS is a mass—but also a Mass in its original sense: a moment of connection and understanding. MASS.K works with masks as attributes, as tools for transforming identity into forms that feel like our own—or that we choose to hide behind. It is a project that uncovers hidden desires, inner moments, and taboos. The “K” itself suggests both “OK” (“All Correct”) and its opposite—“Knockout.”

The performance also references the intense incorporation of masks into our lives during the COVID-19 pandemic—when they protected us, concealed us, and adorned us all at once.
