Kennen Sie den Film „Bruce Allmächtig“? Mir hat die Filmkomödie aus dem Jahr 2003 mit Jim Carrey in der Hauptrolle zumindest einige Denkanstöße gegeben. Zum Beispiel diesen hier: Bruce wird mit der Allmacht Gottes ausgestattet, aber auch mit seinen Aufgaben. Er bekommt Zugang zum himmlischen E-Mail-Postfach, und als die Zahl der menschlichen Bitten überhandnimmt, drückt Bruce völlig überfordert auf „Alles mit ja beantworten!“ In der Folge bricht weltweit das komplette Chaos aus.

Screaming Into the Void
In August we performed a live taping of the show from a theater perched on the edge of Manhattan, overlooking the Hudson River, overshadowed by the wide open night sky. Three stories about voids. One about a fish that screams into the night – and the mystery of its counterpart that doesn’t. Another about a group of women who gazed at the night sky and taught us just how vast the universe is, and a third about a man who talk to aliens – and the people who tell him he’s putting human civilization at risk by doing so.
