Syker Vorwerk in Syke has announced 'Kommen und Gehen_III', a one-hour theater performance by the Drei.Grazien.Kollektiv that will take place on Sunday, August 16, from 12 to 13 Uhr. The performance is presented as a free admission event, with donations welcome, and visitors are asked to note that the exhibition in the venue cannot be viewed during the performance.
The announcement describes the work as a version-based reimagining of Samuel Beckett’s short piece 'Kommen und Gehen' ('Come and Go' / 'Va et vient'). According to the institution’s newsletter, the collective presents Beckett’s text in three different variations, framing the performance as “a poetic spatial experience between movement and stillness.” The title itself underscores that idea, with the production billed as a performance “mit Achtsamkeit und Ei und in dreI Räumen,” and “frei nach Samuel Beckett.”
The event is being staged by the Drei.Grazien.Kollektiv and features Gertrud Schleising, Silke Mohrhoff and Ilka Rautenstrauch. The newsletter says the three artists engage with Beckett’s precise choreography of coming and going, and that their approach opens new perspectives on a work that remains, in the institution’s wording, as fascinating today as ever. No further biographical details were provided in the source material.
Syker Vorwerk’s newsletter places the performance within a broader programme that also includes an upcoming public tour of the current exhibition 'The Big Clash' by Markus Genesius (WOW123). That guided visit is listed for Wednesday, August 19, at 14:00, with Nicole Giese-Kroner leading the tour. The performance announcement, however, makes clear that 'Kommen und Gehen_III' itself is the main event on August 16 and that exhibition viewing will pause for the duration of the hour-long presentation.
The notice also adds a post-performance invitation to a small refreshments gathering, described in the playful wording of the announcement as a “kleine SchlemmerEi.” Entry to the performance is free, with a donation requested. The venue’s newsletter further notes that photographs and film recordings may be made during events for public-relations purposes.
Syker Vorwerk lists its visitor address as Waldstraße 76, 28857 Syke, and says exhibition admission is free. Its stated opening hours are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 14:00 to 17:00, Sunday from 12:00 to 17:00, and on public holidays from 14:00 to 17:00, with closure on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
