"Hereby we want to announce that capitalism has peacefully passed away yesterday, after a long illness. We would like to invite you to a memorial service to celebrate the passing of an economic and social system that has divided opinions. But we now know that we must say goodbye and plan for a new future, for us, for the coming generations, and for the planet."

In this immersive theater experience, there will be space for letting go, for sadness, and for celebration. Feierlichkeiten zur Beerdigung des Kapitalismus is a performative ritual with elements of theater, dance, and music, which transitions into a communal celebration. Because when we cry together, we can also dance together. When we eat together, we can start talking about how we want to live together.

In simple language:

"Capitalism is dead. After a long time, we say goodbye to a system that has caused much conflict. Now it's time to start anew – for us, our children, and the Earth."

The play is about saying goodbye and new beginnings. The evening includes theater, dance, and music. The audience sometimes participates – for example, in questions, conversations, and discussions about our society. The play is humorous and shows how important community is. In the end, everyone eats together. (The meal is included in the ticket price.)

Relationshifts

4x4 meters – a box. 2 performers – a couple.

The audience sits around the transparent cube. In a limited space, the various phases and dynamics of a relationship are negotiated through dance. From the romantically enthusiastic beginning, through the shared space and the feeling of deep roots and togetherness, to phases of longing for autonomy, the desire to break out of familiar patterns, leaving obligations behind. The one-hour piece repeats every evening twice in a linked structure. The audience is invited to watch one or both loops. In the same space, with the same choreographic structure, but changing roles and parameters: do the protagonists really act the same? Do they take the same paths? Do they lose control? Do they change? Relationshifts takes all the facets of everyday life as a couple and declines the emotional and physical aspects of a relationship in different life situations. This creates the choreographic picture of a relationship, in which the audience can also discover their own everyday moments.

“Ceren Oran, who was recently awarded the Dance Promotion Award of the City of Munich, comes up with a veritable surprise – a real masterpiece. And she manages this thanks to the small format, the intimacy in the tight space.” Eva-Elisabeth Fischer, Münchner Feuilleton

Subsequently on 24.01.: Audience discussion

In simple language:

In this dance piece, the audience sits around a transparent cube. Inside the cube are two people. They show through dance how a relationship changes – from the beginning of love to the desire for more freedom. The piece lasts for one hour and is performed twice in a row. The audience can watch one or both parts. When you watch both parts, you also discover slight changes. Relationshifts shows different sides of life as a couple and how feelings and bodies change in a relationship.

Lesung: Verlassene Nester

»How Patricia Hempel writes about the loss of innocence and the post-reunification period is an event.« Florian Valerius

Summer 1992 in the former Elbe border area. Pilly is thirteen and longs for belonging. But even two years after reunification, her family is still clinging to the ideals of yesterday. The father escapes to the pub, the aunts dream of the Golden West, and there is still no trace of Pilly's mother. Pilly finds support only in her older classmate Katja. A delusion. She does not suspect that by the end of this summer, her world will once again be different.

Patricia Hempel, born in 1983 in Berlin, initially studied prehistoric and early history before moving from archaeology to study literary writing/editing at the University of Hildesheim. Verlassene Nester was supported by the Berlin Senate Administration for Culture and Social Cohesion with the scholarship for German-language literature and nominated for the Alfred Döblin Prize 2023.

In simple language:

On this evening, Patricia Hempel will read an excerpt from her new novel Verlassene Nester. The novel tells the story of Pilly, who is 13 years old. The plot takes place in the summer of 1992 in East Germany. Two years after the fall of the wall, Pilly's family is struggling to cope with the new situation. Pilly feels alone and is searching for friendship and love.

WARTEN – Szenen aus der Zwischenwelt

Wating is a fundamental human experience. In Maren Strack's work, it becomes the starting point for sensual-poetic worlds. Sitting on a train station bench, she develops a performance full of surprises, humor, and loving details from everyday objects. A rolling suitcase becomes a costume, a clock runs backwards, and zippers transform into musical instruments. The waiting here becomes an intense experience. Maren Strack creates an in-between world that can only emerge in these special moments of pausing and dreaming. Stasis stimulates the hearing, and she translates this state into delicate sound images – until the diffuse waiting suddenly culminates in hectic, almost eruptive choreographic outbursts. With a fine sense, Maren Strack explores the acoustic possibilities of her surroundings and invites us to a surreal ode to imagination in the everyday.

Du Bist Dran! (10+)

A quartet for four players and an audience: Games and rules are humorously mixed up. The audience gets involved, watches, answers questions, and must ultimately decide which side they are on. But beware: It's not just fair play; the rules are sometimes twisted. With energetic dance improvisations, humorous audience participation, and a few crooked tricks, the fun really gets going while also examining questions of belonging, exclusion, and fairness. But what rules are we talking about here, and who actually determines them? And above all, what remains when the competition is over? DU BIST DRAN! is an invitation to enjoy pure entertainment together and a reminder that we are never alone in the game...

In simple language:

A quartet with four players and the audience: The rules are turned upside down. The audience participates, watches, answers questions, and decides which side they are on. But be careful: It's not always fair play; sometimes the rules are changed. Questions are raised: Who belongs? What is fair? DU BIST DRAN! is pure fun – and a reminder that we never play alone.

Was geht, Erdling? (8+) - explore dance – Tanz für junges Publikum

Two travelers from space make a stop on Earth and have a mission: to find out what it means to be human. They have already gathered some facts: for example, that there are things like time and money. From cartoons, they have learned how humans might move. But all the things they do seem strange; the way they speak sounds a bit wrong, and the way they dress is somewhat funny. A few questions remain unanswered, and not just for the aliens. What’s up, Earthling? is a humorous, playful attempt by the two choreographers and dancers Caroline Beach and Saida Makhmudzade to engage with human habits.
