We open our eyes when we are born and close them when we die. In the time in between, our eyelids open and close imperceptibly around 18,000 times a day. Life happens. So does ageing. With her new piece "Augen auf, Augen zu" (Eyes Open, Eyes Shut), dancer and choreographer Anna Till and her situation productions team focus on forms and themes of age and ageing. The interweaving of the perspectives of different generations and the view of ageing as an ongoing process are at the forefront. With the congenial cast of dancers Brit Rodemund and Simone Gisela Weber, questions about a person's life and topics relating to ageing are transformed into a poetic choreography of closeness.
