Robbin' Halbhöhe

"Property is an obligation. Its use should also serve the common good".

Based on Article 14 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany, the question arises as to how much responsibility private individuals should, can and would like to bear for the common good. How consciously do we deal with material wealth and the privileges that come with it? How willing are we to share something – and whom with?

Laura Oppenhäuser mooches around Stuttgart's well-off neighbourhoods, where the big money is hiding behind large fences. She is out to seek an open dialogue with wealthy people

people about materialistic wealth, about privilege, social responsibility and generousity. She has nothing, but nothing to sell. That's why she asking for lent items, for her to take along onto stage. Let it be wine bottles, car keys, furniture, cleaning help or a tennis lesson. Based on collected objects and encounters she reflects on impressions, prejudices, clichés and facts. Along with her own texts and audio-visually supported by Ivan Syrov.
