Those who raise expectations are doomed to failure. Anyone who is too slow, who doesn’t fit into the group, who questions the system is thrown out! No job, no money. Failure is not an option! So every day anew: get up, get dressed, train, deliver, serve, (be) entertained – create content, get feedback. New round. Hello, is anyone watching? Everyone wants to be seen and recognised. But in a world where attention is a scarce resource, expectations must not only be met, but one’s own performance must always be surpassed. In the wake of our society’s “zero-fault tolerance”, performing:group creates a merciless spectacle of the faster-higher-further principle in the struggle for the audience’s attention.
