Growing Pains

Norwin Tharayil

45 minutes
Sports hall

At the age of 11, Norwin declares on Swiss television the goal of playing in the NBA, the best basketball league in the world, and dreams for years of growth spurts that fail to materialize. In the performance, Norwin poses the question: What can I imagine for myself, for my body? – and grants permission to grow beyond the given physical form.

Norwin Tharayil (aka elfrid the third) works at the intersection of literature, music and performance. In past audio pieces, (song) texts and performances, Norwin has explored the meaning of sleep and meditation apps in Western, capitalist societies, factory work and heartbreak.

Concept, text, sound, performance Norwin Tharayil 3D animation and Micro-videography Kamran Behrouz Dramaturgic companion Legion Seven Basketball players Kübra Varol, Mado Falgon, Myles Mumford, Nina MK, Tansu Kayaalp
