A story about friendship based on the children's book by Smriti Prasadam-Halls & Steve Small.

| Play description

Bear and Squirrel know each other well. Bear always knows where Squirrel's treasures are and what music he doesn't like. Squirrel knows Bear's favorite hiding place and the trick to waking Bear up. They do almost everything together, even though they are so different. This goes well for a long time, but suddenly there is a crack. An argument and silence. Squirrel is gone and Bear is alone. But they can't do without each other... can they?
In their play for children aged 4 and over and adults, the Artisanen tell with subtle humor and without words about the challenges and happiness of friendship, about being alone and that differences don't have to be an obstacle.

A dance piece by Isabelle Schad with Aya Toraiwa

| Piece description

Yuki Onna is a Japanese myth. It tells of a mysterious woman with long black hair who appears in the cold of the snow and invites all the children she meets to play with the wind.
The stage is transformed into a white snowy landscape, while powerful excerpts from the fairy tale in English, German and Japanese merge with Aya Toraiwa's movements to create a poetic and sensual dance experience for all generations.

The essence of wishes

| Play description |

Gold! Power! Bratwurst! What happens when a djinnīya - a female genie in a bottle - breaks out of the Arabian desert and no longer wants to fulfill every wish? What do I actually need in life, what do I want most, and what should and may remain just a wish? Piece by piece, the stage is filled with stories, songs and wishes. The audience sits in the middle of this growing installation and accompanies a young musician on his journey to himself - always accompanied by a headstrong Dschinnīya, who inspires him and the audience to listen deeply into themselves - into their own realm of wishes and dreams.
In German, Viennese and Arabic, Minouche Petrusch (Germany) and René Sami Salim (Austria & Saudi Arabia) tell stories with music and shadow play and take the audience on a fairytale journey for all the senses.
In the epilogue, all audience members can add their own wishes to the stage. The result is a large, ever-growing installation of wishes in which an astonishing number of similarities can be discovered.

A participatory piece with Krump dancers by Janne Gregor

| Piece description |

Who owns the stage? Four Krump dancers ask themselves this question and take the audience into the spotlight. Krump is a dance style that has only recently appeared on stage. It originated as Afro-diasporic dance culture on the streets of L.A. and is based on a rebellion against social inequality and discrimination. For many dancers, Krump is still a place of refuge and a substitute for family. The Krump community creates community, it's about showing up and supporting each other.
Choreographer Janne Gregor transfers this self-empowering Krump attitude to life into the Theatre space and breaks down the usual hierarchies between audience and performers. A lively choreography is created live in close exchange with pupils. Dance becomes a means of communication, each performance a unique experience that makes it possible to experience why you simply can't stop dancing.

A music-Theatre collage about bird migration | World premiere

| Play description

On their journeys across continents, migratory birds complete veritable odysseys. They cover thousands of kilometers in astonishing formations, defy storms, overcome mountains and phases of exhaustion. But how do they find their way together? How do they know which direction to fly in? Do they follow the stars or the moon? Do they call each other? Or do they learn how to navigate from their parents? And how do they orient themselves in a changing climate?
The ensemble DieOrdnungDerDinge sees the flight paths of numerous migratory birds in the Theatre sky and, in this music-Theatre collage, explores the skills needed on land, at sea and in the air to arrive in distant lands. The three performers pick up on the sound of chirping and cawing and take a break with the birds on their incredible journeys into the distance. They take a look at the migration routes of their own families and follow in the footsteps of the crane, nightingale, goose and cuckoo: the ensemble discovers the birds' sixth sense, marvels at their anatomy and is amazed by their flying skills. The result is a composition of baroque and contemporary bird sounds, images and stories about the constant wandering that seems to connect man and bird.

Ole loves to secretly put on his princess dress and put on make-up. Now Lu has the boss in the palm of her hand and if he doesn't want to blow the whistle, they'll dance according to her rules.

an urban fairy tale by Jonathan Harvey - translated from the English by Lisa Wegener

| Play description

A high-rise building, one floor. Jamie, Ste and Leah live next door to each other. Jamie sometimes skips school, for Ste it's sometimes too dangerous at home. Leah has been expelled from school and is now annoying everyone with the loud music she needs to keep herself grounded. Jamie and Ste fall in love. Sandra, who is bringing up Jamie all on her own, tries to keep everything under control, partly because she knows that everyone hears everything. Tony, her boyfriend, wants to help. And together they talk about queer love, extreme closeness, the search for identity and the difficult but important task of staying true to oneself, ecertainly when the desire to belong or to separate oneself is strong.
When Jonathan Harvey wrote "Beautiful Thing" in 1993, in the aftershocks of the AIDS crisis, LGBTQIA+ stories were characterized by the pain of that time. For Harvey, it was important to counter this with a queer romantic comedy that also tells of class and care work. This play will be newly translated for the Parkaue. Director Babett Grube and her team want to use the production to open up a space in which an examination of fluid identity, community and what a normative society ascribes to our bodies can take place.

Based on the novel "Wir holen uns die Nacht zurück" by Nora Hoch

| Play description

Kaja and IIvy - two girls like sisters. They grow up in the same house and discover their first love, parties - and drugs. Their friendship reaches its limits when Kaja slips further and further into the drug swamp and IIvy's attempts to save herself fail. When Kaja disappears from a party, high on drugs, Ilvy and her friend Kaan set off in search of her. This reveals a life that IIvy knew nothing about.
Wir holen uns die Nacht zurück is a road movie, wild, anarchic and against all the rules. It is about drug addiction, co-dependency and loyalty in a friendship: how can you protect a loved one without losing yourself in the process?
