Collective Schwung brings a unique, "forgotten" medieval tragedy to life for the first time. In Jean Cement, we follow the archetypal Jean, whose orderly existence is brutally disrupted by inevitable progress.

While the world rumbles on, Jean stiffens in a desperate attempt to leave everything as it is. In vain, of course: the future cares little for our planning.

This humorous performance combines the sounds of the past with the themes of today: conservatism, progress and our resistance to change. An absurdist and humorous trip about the tendency to want to understand everything before it happens. How long can you hold on to the familiar before the thrumming world eats you up with skin and hair?

The seven creators work in varying compositions.
