By Helgard Haug
“No intention - just Tourette’s,” Christian Hempel hastily sends ahead when he is around people. His rants and motor outbursts are not controllable. They are reactions to the world in which he moves and challenge it.
For the Monologfestival, a solo about the fear of losing control, verbal attacks, parliamentary Tourette’s and the question of what is actually normality is created from the material of the award-winning work “Chinchilla Arschloch, waswas”. Because Tourette’s syndrome wants confrontation and sensation. This leads to conflicts: A neighbor has even tried to obtain a restraining order against Christian. For many, less noticeable aspects of communication and being-in-the-world suddenly become visible in a different way. The basic conditions of living together and their supposed ordinariness are being re-sorted.
Making theater with Tourette’s seems impossible at first glance: no text is safe, no movement repeatable. The stage equipment has to be moved to a safe place, special hotel rooms have to be booked. What is not Tourette-compatible is being changed. And these changes form a material, eventually shaping a text, a beginning, and a conclusion. How much lack of intention can the theater withstand? How much protection can it offer, given that the stage is made for the opposite: Precision, repeatability, control, world history, spectacle?
