"Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.” Albert Einstein
Based on Einstein's reflection, Cosmos (Not Enough) is a research on unequal perception, memory and reality, on being a woman, being a man, being oneself, on relationship, desire, lust, love, polarity, erotic attraction and the different experience of space and time. A profound, sensual and humorous interdisciplinary performance that combines stories, images, sound, music and movement to create an experimental playground.
In collaboration with light, video and sound artist Krischan Kriesten, Ley combines her skills as a multidisciplinary artist to reflect the fascinating inner world of passion, desire for communication and knowledge in a performance that addresses both personal and universal themes and provokes through its abstract poetry and directness.

Whistle for a minute or imagine doing it.
We looked at the past, the source, counting in light years. 300.000 kilometers in one second. Everything is so close here, so unbelievably close. I love to believe that I am next door, that I am everywhere, anytime.

Circe Sings
Furry beast, let us feast, pulsating monster. Circe, sing!
- in f–a–c-t the sky’s blueness is an optical illusion, but that does not bother us, does it.
Words like wine, the older the wiser, words released without inhibition, nectar of the gods and goddesses, in vino veritas, right, in vino caritas, right. Cheers.
You are tempted to open the unlocked temple of the happy disillusionment.
She also made the drunk blind seekers dream, the constant thirsty seekers. She made them dream.
Yes, a puzzle of body mind soul to hold an inventory of human functions:
COSMOS (Not Enough) REVIEWS
RTL TV Feature ARTBOX by Sandy Elsen
A sensual, interdisciplinary performance. Ley playfully, mockingly and at times pensively reflects on the different perceptions, and plays with heteronormative gender roles. The performance is linguistically witty, beguiling in its singing and coherent in its choreography. It is a powerful solo performance... More of this! Land 04/24
Exceptional performance. As a conqueror of words, expressions and territories, Sascha Ley penetrates the innermost recesses of our consciousness, our collective memory and reality. Zeitung vum Lëtzebuerger Vollek 03/24
This invitation to a game of exploration ... amuses, provokes and disturbs at the same time with its drastic directness. SZ 10/24
It’s poetic and provocative, visually stunning, brave, honest, and humorous [..] Wendy Winn, Radio ARA/Writer and poet 03/24
She acts, she sings, she composes, she writes, she dances ... To call Sascha Ley a multidisciplinary artist would almost be an understatement. Journal 03/24
A Unique Journey Through Perception and Reality. ... the performance is a mirror reflecting the complexities of human existence. [..] a thought-provoking experience for a diverse audience. Bnnbreaking.com02/24
What a performance it is. [..] a fascinating concept that prompts you to revisit your own journey, your own experiences and your own version of events. Luxembourg Times02/24
Dear Sascha, what a magnificent show you've given us this evening. You've put your whole body and soul into it, an exceptional multi-polar artist: Your art of words, language, writing, voice, singing, gestures and movement, all live and vibrate in synergy thanks to your passion and your admirably mastered rage for expression. Many thanks for this evening. Lambert Schlechter, writer and poet 02/24
