High Life

Performance, 2025, with Marlen Pflüger, 30 min.; Nur das was muss, Spoiler, Berlin

In "High Life," Rosanna Graf and Marlen Pflüger portray spiritual finance consultants who conduct an unconventional counseling session for inexperienced brokers. They provide speculative investment advice on stocks and cryptocurrencies while simultaneously performing a physical and vocal ritual aimed at attracting prosperity. The performers incorporate pop culture choreography, chanting, singing, and growling to connect with spatial vibrations. They collect energy, ride on broken branches, spill milk, and perform egg-cleansing rituals. The work oscillates between financial language and symbolic gestures to explore the intersections of belief, speculation, and the desire for security in uncertain systems.
