praktisch galaktisch
Dance & Theatre Young FFT Dance
It is quite the galactic bustle at the world gate to the unknown! There is a bored, gum-chewing bouncer standing around here. Half stunned, he pops one gum bubble after another. He seems to be waiting. For whom, or for what, no-one knows. Suddenly, a curious creature appears, a mix of everything, not human, not animal, not plant, yet a bit of everything. Half-way, somehow. It raps saccharine melodies, plays with words and language, twists content, distorts reality, and dances its heart out. This funny, colourful creature invites us into his adventurous worlds. Worlds in which role models cannot endure, and in which societal norms have long since dissolved.
A dream in colour!
