Moumouni and Buser merge into one person in COLD. The latter embarks on a wild trip to escape an inner detachment from the world and herself. She wanders sleeplessly through newly built apartments and glacial lakes, wellness hotels and stinking swamps - as well as through her own steaming head. Just don't give in to indifference! But how can you throw yourself into world events without burning up? Politically heated moods, melting poles, social coldness - the second program of the Salzburg Bull award-winning duo tackles urgent topics and seeks a poetic and humorous approach to them.

Together with journalist Uğur Gültekin, she hosts ‹Moumouni/Gültekin› - the first post-foreign, post-migrant late night show in Switzerland. At Gessnerallee Zurich, Moumouni hosts her discussion series ‹Die neue Unsicherheit. Disco Edition›, a plea for more space for insecurity on public stages as a motor for more progressive discourses.

Fatima Moumouni and Laurin Buser write texts full of linguistic presence of mind, subtle self-irony and lyrical explosions

Synchronized in an uncanny way

WOZ Die Wochenzeitung

The interplay of social parodies with this self-critical figure feels like a mantra against indifference - a kind of struggle against social coldness in a self-ironic and poetic way.
