Theaterkohlenpott

Was für ein (schönes) Chaos (What a [nice] chaos)

Play development by Manuel Moser and ensemble
as part of Spielarten 2025
Performance for everyone aged 8 and up

Chaos everywhere. Outside, on stage, in the head. What is beautiful about it, and what could we do without? Two chaotic slobs attempt to stage a play, and we watch them fail again and again. They dance, they sing, narrate, and at the end, something new, something beautiful, something hopeful emerges from all this mess.
