reality check Explanation: it sounds like sombody is getting a reality check, this should not be literally translated...when someone gets a "reality check" they come out of their denial or their delusion and see something for what it really is....they get jarred from their illusion and come to terms with what is -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-08-09 06:21:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- to get knocked over the head would be another idiomatic way to express this concept |

spaces of reality Explanation: Heidi Hoh lives in the worldwide web-slums. A dream of reality like the German Bank (Die Deutsche Bank) dissolves into the virtuality of the web address; the victims of a bank robbery are nothing but hard discs. Pollesch's characters are searching for "spaces of reality" that open up when the pizza service rings the doorbell or you blow up web addresses. His obsession with spaces of reality seems necessary in a world that is shaped by turbo capitalism, globalisation, new markets tele-work and gene technology or by speed jobs at Amazon, Daimler-Chrysler, Toyota - all this within an area that is located between Seattle and the German Bank. "Heidi Hoh is … in search of a dream of reality and that's what we also do when making theatre. http://www.goethe.de/kug/pro/stuecke/englisch/pollesch.htm |
