Die Gnade der Schwerkraft
Variationen über Simone Weil
by Fabian Saul and Senthuran Varatharajah
“All that remains for us is yearning, waiting, and futile looking.”
In "Die Gnade der Schwerkraft", Senthuran Varatharajah and Fabian Saul explore the existential boundaries of life, language and knowledge through the world of Simone Weil's thoughts. Two people are confronted with the limits of their existence: text and death. Inspired by Weil's unorthodox philosophy, which combines elements such as social justice, spirituality and intercultural influences, the process of writing, mourning and praying is presented as a path to knowledge. The central question remains how to face the unavoidable limits and understand them through grace as something deeper that points beyond the gravity of life.
