Moumouni and Buser merge into one person in ‘COLD’. The latter embarks on a wild trip. The goal: to escape her inner detachment from the world and herself. Dulled and sleepless, she wanders through new-build flats and glacial lakes, wellness hotels and stinking swamps – as well as through her own steaming head. Just don't give in to indifference! But how can you throw yourself into world events without burning up?

Politically heated moods, melting poles, social coldness – the second programme by the Salzburg Bull award-winning duo tackles urgent topics and seeks a poetic and humorous approach to them.

‘Fatima Moumouni and Laurin Buser write texts full of linguistic presence of mind, subtle self-irony and lyrical explosions’ – Jury Salzburger Stier.
