Deadlock is based on the fifth volume of ‘Isolation’ (Die Ka lte 1981), the autobiography of Austrian author Thomas Bernhard. Bernhard, who aspired to be a musician, suffers from a severe pneumonia and is committed in a sanatorium. The text describes how he copes with his illness, and his fight against the authorities which forced him to act like everybody else and eventually to stay ill.

Deadlock opens on Friday, April 1st, at 7:30pm followed by a dance performance with Dancer and Choreographer Mami Shimazaki, and an artist talk with the artist on Saturday, April 2nd, at 1pm
