Hinterlassenschaft: A House Full of Stuff

Between jars of preserved cherries, a bank account filled with expectations, and the nose of an unknown father, a house full of stuff takes shape. notsopretty has created a performance about fading memories, about objects as enduring witnesses to the past, and about bureaucracy, emotion, and inequality. Who inherits, and who is left out? What is life like when money no longer matters? And just how many zeros are there in a billion?

"A House Full of Stuff" is an invitation to negotiate, reflect, and redistribute, featuring integrated audio description and original musical composition. Drawing on personal experiences, the three performers translate the practice of inheritance into a performative last will and testament. In doing so, they play with legal and contractual formalities, biographical and fictional narratives, personal testimonies, and interviews.
