The documentary performance Eismitte told the story of Alfred Wegener’s final Greenland expedition. It took place in a cold-storage house at -24°C. The last days of Wegener, based on his diary notes, were re-enacted in this setting of ice and snow. The spectators were given sleeping bags and hot water bottles to protect themselves against the icy cold temperatures.
