HABEMUS PAPAM, WALTER

A site-specific performance by Nova Melancholia.

Wirlwind. Walter Benjamin is thinking aloud. Everything is a matter of montage. The Pope is dead. Long live the Pope. History's automaton spits phrases.

How can political and religious issues of History awaken the present?

Through the hybrid text-collage Habemus Papam, Walter nine performers attempt to speak about lost paradise.
