Someone disappears from the scene and a tree is upside down. In search of the roots, people are torn from their usual order and reassembled. While connections are made in the dark, elsewhere a woman tries on the primordial soup and ends up in a system of people circling around themselves. In the beginning is the cell and in the end a promising or ominous storm. Only one person remains alone, but he gets unexpected comfort from somewhere.

“Lickalike” is an animated short film that was created as part of the The anthology feature film “Happiness Machine”, which is an innovative, interdisciplinary project devised for public concerts and cinema screenings, organized by Klangforum Wien throughout Europe and abroad.
The films reflect on various aspects of “The Economy for the Common Good”. Its opportunities and challenges, and its theory and practice, will be brought up for discussion through the mediums of animation, music, and an advanced participatory form of music theatre.

—————-
Seven protagonists, stuck inside the box, are trapped in their cliches and their recurring daily routine. Their individuality is only an apparent one, because far too easy their autonomy can be taken away – even if they gamble with life. But the show must go on and money is rolling in. Applause!

——————-
The film „torturing“ is based on the poem of the same name by Etta Streicher. It is concerned with not speaking out, keeping your feet still or actually biting the bullet and achieving inner freedom. And about how individual mental states influence the world.
