Weather Sensitivity - Landestheater Bregenz

A never-ending stream of news and notifications, voices, opinions, interactions. People and media, noises, images, screen flickering: everything around us is loud, loud, LOUD – a constant assault on the senses, and there is hardly a moment when the outside does not penetrate the inside. For the protagonist in Bella Angora's WETTERFÜHLIG, the world has become unbearable. Too many stimuli, too much noise, too many expectations. She withdraws, severs all connections, and turns her apartment into a fortress to rediscover herself – or to discover herself for the first time. While life continues outside, she has one last connection to the outside world: the weather. Nature, unstoppable and unaffected by individual worries, becomes her only interlocutor. The sky, the wind, the rain – she reads her own moods in the weather, projecting her fears and hopes onto the weather events. She becomes sensitive to the weather. But as she re-maps her inner self, larger questions arise: How significant is self-analysis in times of crisis? Do personal feelings even matter anymore when the climate is dramatically changing? Is self-exploration merely a luxury? Or is it essential for survival in a time that drives more and more people into exhaustion and overwhelm? WETTERFÜHLIG is a journey to the limits of retreat – navigating the fine line between poetic introspection, social critique, and a furious confrontation with a world that is coming unmoored.
