Annalena Fröhlich works within a wide reaching spectrum of composition, choreography, performance
and visual experimentation. She creates surreal sceneries between everyday life and disaster, where she
manages to provoke an individual, whimsical-melancholic aesthetic, that runs like a red thread through
her entire oeuvre and invites the audience to immerse themselves in a questioned world and position.
PARK takes place in the vicinity of an amusement park, behind the glittering façade. The boisterous human masses on the site of the nearby park, a cacophony of laughter, show booths, machine noise, and disco tracks are clearly audible. But the audience sees something else. The audience is backstage, and what it sees and what it hears does not match. Sound and image are strangely contrasted. What is absent dominates the action, and the displacement of image and sound creates a strange and idiotic gap.

ZOO
or certain death eath eth th
ZOO examines the time nfter the extinction of all
animals and raises the hypothesis that humans will
then work as animals. In this dystopia, humans earn
their living as domestic or zoo animals, as pigeons in
squares or as wild animals in the remaining nature
reserves. In a cruel logic, the problem of a
technological economy with rising unemployment is
solved and combined with the mass death of animals.
ZOO is concerned with the tragic attempt of humans
to eliminate the largely self-inflicted catastrophe of
mass extinction. With a completely idiotic idea.

Leben zu einem ständigen Kreisen um die Angst, es entsteht ein System, dass sich aus sich selbst speist,
ein Zirkel, dem man schwer entkommen kann.
