Wolfstunde

Already present at the Festival d'Avignon to act in Mr. Seguin's Goat revisited by Jean Lambert-wild, the performer Silke Mansholt raises questions, in Wolfstunde (Wolflesson), on the wolf that is inside each of us, on the dark part of each individual and the battle between it and his lighter, human part. Based on her personal experience, she questions, on the way, the power and impotence of art. Is art free? Are we free? If there are, in our contemporary world, wolves and scapegoats, are we wolves or scapegoats? If we are trying to be what we don't want to be, is the wolf transformed into a scapegoat or is the scapegoat transformed into a wolf? Wolflesson by Silke Mansholt is enriched by her three most recent lives, as well as by the wolf, the moon and her personal experience, as a German artist, of World War II and the Holocaust.
