About the performance:

United sorry needed a break from the world as it manifests itself in present-day politics. They catapulted themselves far into the infinite space, to reflect on why they feel so disconnected from the current public debates. Will they find the key to a new engagement by travelling between the stars, or will they get lost forever?

United sorry is a Vienna-based duo consisting of Mister United (Frans Poelstra) and Deejay Sorry (Robert Steijn), aiming to deliver semi-intellectual, semi-sentimental and rudimentarily conceptual experiences in the field of art.

About united sorry:

Frans Poelstra and Robert Steijn form together united sorry. Frans Poelstra started as a choreographer and improvising dancer. Robert Steijn, who lives a nomadic live in Europe, started as a dramaturge to become performance artist. Frans and Robert make performances and installation art for theatres, galleries, and festivals as well as rituals in public space. In their work they combine dance, theatre and music with performance art and see themselves in the most naive and childlike way as conceptual artists. United sorry provides a platform: “for rethinking reality, we need exhausting monologues, hesitating dialogues, bothering day dreams & creative hallucinations, let’s bring our bodies and mind, outside the heat of the moment, let’s take time, let’s face our environment, and listen to the stillness of trees for example.” www.unitedsorry.com
