How do you perform when you can’t? How do you work when you shouldn’t? Whom do you ask for help? Your doctor? Your colleagues? Your boss? It begins with a dilemma: how can we speak when we’re out of words? When we want to move forward, but feel not able to do so? They say that sometimes we must just take a leap and then a net will appear. So let’s try! I don’t aim for applause. I just aim for taking that leap. And I trust that you will be my net. May we all learn something new tonight…You live you learn is about burnout, our relationship to work and the significance it has in society. Despite preventing measures in companies, being burned out is often perceived as the fault of an individual, who overdid it despite knowing better, instead of questioning a system of working conditions. Therefore, many people don't dare to communicate that they are not well. They feel ashamed, fear stigmatization or the loss of their job if their performance at work is no longer satisfactory. And often enough, they don’t see it coming.
So, there is a difficulty, yet a necessity to speak about burnout to overcome it. This dilemma is the core of the artistic approach: It is a performance about non-performing. It moves from darkness to light, from speechlessness to a conversation with the audience. It is an invitation to reflect about our own approach to work and by speaking up despite struggling with finding the words, trying to make it more accepted to not always being able to perform.
