„Why can we no longer see the world for all the things in it? Why is our view of the present obscured by so much stuff and why is all the garbage simply piled up behind the curtain?“
The idea for „1000 Things Falling“ is simple: Objects of all kinds fall from the fly tower onto the stage. When object no. one thousand touches the floor, the performace is over. Bravo, boo, curtain. But wouldn't the curtain already be the object no. 1001? And what about the air that is moved by the applause?
The way we drop this performance is an attempt to tell something without making something up.

"The "Dingforscher" from the Giessen school of post-dramatic theater take a lesson from the material itself, exploring its physical, metaphysical and social secrets and combining installation and play in a fantastic new way."
(Berliner Zeitung, Doris Meierhenrich, Es scheppert im Hebbel-Theater: Wucht und Eleganz des Fallens)

"… Showcase Beat Le Mot celebrate a high mass for post-dramatic theater here. ... like high priests of their art, like images of Dante and German Michels at the same time."
(Berliner Morgenpost, Elena Philipp, Zuerst fällt eine Lampe aus dem Schnürboden)
