In KGIs and Peiras Die Policey – Versuch über die Sicherheit („The Policey - Essay on Security“) examines police violence, patriarchal society, and paranoia. The play was created with amateur professionals who have themselves been exposed to police violence.
In Die Policey – Versuch über die Sicherheit the actors explore the relationship between civil society and the police, freedom and security. With great seriousness and sharp analysis. With impressive, sometimes bizarre scenes, and occasionally even with black humor. KGI offers many thought-provoking ideas and shows political stance. The play ends as it began, with instructions for the audience.
„Ganz wenig Applaus, dann rausgehen!“ Das Publikum im Ringlokschuppen widersetzt sich und applaudiert heftig.

In KGI and Alexander Bauer's Die Policey – Versuch über die Sicherheit the police dispositif is only the external reason for analyzing the constitution of subjects in the patriarchy.
A red blob that threatens to devour us all. Must it be stopped? Or not?
It all begins with a red slime bundle, from which faces and voices can slowly be seen and heard. What seems unbearable as a non-identifiable individual must immediately be divided into distinct identities and bodies through police work.
The red slime becomes the crime scene. In Die Policey – Versuch über die Sicherheit the police dispositif is only the external reason for analyzing the constitution of subjects in the patriarchy.
What paranoid fantasies lead to an insatiable need for security in a precarious working society? How can such a system, despite its flat hierarchies, continue to produce authoritarian personality structures?
In the final act, the ensemble finds itself armed to the teeth and terrified in a panic room. At any moment, the red slime could seep in through the cracks or burst out alien-like from their own body armor. Who is holding whom back?
