WAITING is a fundamental human experience. For Maren Strack, it becomes the starting point for sensuous and poetic worlds. Seated on a train station bench, she creates a scene out of everyday objects, filled with surprises, humour, and tender details. A rolling suitcase transforms into a costume, a clock runs backwards, and zips turn into musical instruments. Here, waiting becomes an immersive experience. Maren Strack conjures a liminal space that can only emerge in these special moments of pause and daydreaming. Stillness sharpens the sense of hearing, and she translates this state into delicate soundscapes – until the indistinct nature of waiting erupts into frantic, almost explosive choreographic outbursts. With a fine sensitivity, Maren Strack explores the acoustic potential of her surroundings, inviting the audience into a surreal ode to the wonder of the everyday.
