A vertical structure made of several dark rectangular blocks is stacked and connected by lighter components. The scene is dimly lit, causing the construction to stand out against a dark background. A person wearing dark work clothing and a headlamp holds a small technical device with tubes and wires. The dimly lit scene is illuminated primarily by the headlamp, highlighting the hands and the object being held. A person wearing work clothing and protective gloves holds a dark brick or stone block in an outstretched hand. The image focuses sharply on the object in the foreground, while the person and the background remain in shadow and out of focus.

»KOHLEGEISTER« is a performative theater project that explores coal as a condensed space of history — its embedded ghosts and the entanglements of global energy systems.
Situated between ritual, biographical and documentary object theater, the work investigates how material, memory, and spirituality intertwine. The stage becomes a site of resonance for suppressed histories and for new modes of listening.
