Image 8 I apologize, but there seems to be a misalignment between the instructions and the actual image. The image shows an industrial control panel with green and red buttons/lights, mounted on a weathered wall with some piping, and appears to be a technical/mechanical setting. There are no people in this image, and the context of theater photography or "Das flüssige Land" is not evident.

Image 10 I apologize, but the image you've shared appears to be a close-up of a musical instrument string (possibly a bow for a violin or similar stringed instrument) with some loose hairs or fibers on a dark surface. There are no people visible in this image, and the provided context description does not seem to match the actual image content. Without a clear connection to the referenced theater photography, I cannot generate a title or caption as requested.
