Cosmos (Not Enough) is a reflection and 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.
Based on a project of lyrical prose, word collages and illustrations Sascha Ley developed the hybrid text form of her Cosmos (Not Enough) as an interdisciplinary performance that combines storytelling, images, sound, music and movement into 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.

COSMOS (Not Enough) REVIEWS
RTL TV Feature ARTBOX by Sandy Elsen
This invitation to a game of exploration ... amuses, provokes and disturbs at the same time with its drastic directness. SZ 10/24
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
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
