2/4 Atmo – Smoke Salon

~4E8A∞~ is a four-part performance series by Johanna Ackva, Cécile Kobel and Judith Milz. The title describes an instruction for breathing: 4 inhales, 8 exhales. 
The second chapter of the long breathing exercise is a delightfully controversial one: a detour to a smokers' pub. Here we discuss why it is still so much fun to inhale particulate matter into your lungs, despite the desire to stay healthy for longer. A moment of escape from breath optimization in the form of a performative cigarette break. In casual gestures and sprawling conversations, this 4-hour durational performance shows connections between culture and capital or Waldorf school and the tobacco industry, tells trivialities and negotiates highly inflammable topics. In the dim light of the traditional pub Café Weiß, the audience sits just a few wisps of smoke away from the performers' regulars' table - an evening between pub format, talk show, karaoke and soirée.
