Evy Schubert

A look back at the theater of the future. Four women wait for the apocalypse. This time it is coming for good, inevitably. They stand in front of a huge wall of fire, waiting for the flood. They take the last picture, take it again and again, in an unstoppable attempt to enjoy the beauty of the moment, to freeze time. The moment stretches, fills with everything that was and is now to pass: Memories, captured in images. – Impossible to imagine an end. Or is it?


LAST PRAYER is a multimedia performance by Evy Schubert that develops a new form of contemporary drama from digital imagery and social media content.

Every day, we are flooded with media images of horror, of old and new crises: Wars, disasters and of the ongoing destruction of our planet. Apocalyptic imagery. Against this backdrop – and as an alternative – visual escapism sells itself: natural idylls, images of contemplation. The digital celebrates the beauty of the planet during its demise. It contrasts the finiteness of life with the infinity of image creation.

LAST PRAYER deals with the transience of our planet and our living space and asks about the images we really want to keep.

LAST PRAYER is the last prayer before the end and the theater of the future. The leap is the experience, not the step.

In Real Life, Life is changing!
