Galaxy of Empathy –

A Care Utopia

Participatory theatre and installation by Initiative Ausstellungspark
PATHOS Theater Munich, September 2025

What would a place look like where we actually want to grow old – a place where care is not only a necessity, but a living exchange of giving and receiving?

As part of Galaxy of Empathy, Sascha Paar and Karl Reinisch developed GRENZKÖRPER – a physically condensed encounter between two generations. The performance explores intimacy, vulnerability, and mutual perception as resonant spaces between a young and an old body. Everyday gestures – sitting, breathing, touching – become reflections on coexistence.

“We present our qualities, though they are of a different kind.” – Karl Reinisch

Within the evening, GRENZKÖRPER unfolded as a quiet choreography in which care becomes poetry – empathy in motion.
