Fight for your fairytale
This event is sold out. You can put yourself on the waiting list here:
The figure of the witch polarizes and appears again and again in a wide variety of contexts – sometimes in historical or contemporary, sometimes in political or pop-cultural contexts. Fight for your fairytale is the go plastic company’s new project, which is being realized as a pop-up piece for young audiences as part of explore dance. It is dedicated to the figure of the witch, her changing image, her rich history and far-reaching impact. The focus is on dealing with one’s own and other people’s powers as an identity-forming process, with self-determination and heteronomy. It is a multidisciplinary play that enchants and perhaps heals.
Duration: ca. 40 min
Language: German
Suitable for everyone aged 12 and over
