about

This Track was composed as a miniature and one episode of the theater production "Genuss Pur". It's the soundtrack for the dancer Mirjam Rauch.
Words by E.M. Cioran.

lyrics

Who, in good faith, could choose between the stone age and the age of modern tools? As close to the ape in one as in the other, we climb clouds for the same reasons as we used to climb trees: only the means of our curiosity - pure or criminal - have changed, and - with disguised reflexes - we are more diversely rapacious.

"Wer will guten Glaubens zwischen der Steinzeit und dem Zeitalter der modernen Werkzeuge wählen? In dem einen wie in dem anderen, dem Affen so nah, erklimmen wir aus den gleichen Gründen die Wolken, wie wir auf Bäume geklettert sind: Einzig die Mittel unserer - reinen oder kriminellen - Neugier haben sich verändert. Mit dem Tarnen unserer Reflexe, konnten wir viel mehr Varianten der Raubgier entfalten."
