Die Komplex Nord Methode (2008)


Links: REVIEWS

Die Komplex Nord Methode was the third and final installment of the Dorine Chaikin Trilogy. Still under the auspicious care of Dr. Dorine Chaikin and her expert team of colleagues and nurses, whose yellowing portraits hung with precise austerity in the lobby- visitors entering the bustling ward again became patients of her ward, adopting a fictive identity, complete with issued hospital gowns and attire. During their stay, patients participated in an extensive series of newly developed therapeutic exercises including primal therapy and private consultations as well as leisure activities, such as baking and board games - designed to encourage “pro-social” behavior and foster memory skills.

Press Quotes:

"Es war eine völlig neue Erfahrung, ob nun Echtzeittheater, Performance-Installation, begehbarer Film oder was auch immer. Dabei wurde man im Endeffekt subtiler auf sich selbst gestoßen, als es in der Beschreibung klingen mag. (...) wie viel man im 'Komplex Nord' doch erfahren hat: über seine sozialen und ideologischen Schmerzgrenzen."
- Almuth Spiegler, Die Presse
