trolllike
Performance Young FFT Theatre & Performance
Theatre group STERNA | PAU, in this performance resplendent with powerful imagery, sets off on a quest to search for the troll. This mythical creature sports many facets. Known from mythology and fairy tale, the internet has become the place to most frequently encounter the troll these days. There, it spouts hate and misinformation, influencing the political climate. STERNA | PAU collate all information they can find on the troll to collect in a digital archive. On stage, the performers, along with the audience, explore this archive full of myths and manipulation. They face the troll in combat by dragging him from anonymity into the limelight.

STERNA │ PAU is a theatre and performance network from Bochum, Berlin, and Dortmund. The artists produce theatre for youths and adults while constantly trying out new forms of participation during their work – in the development process as well as in performance situations. They also like to work with non-human actors and transfer theatre into digital spaces. At the centre of their work are mainly questions of community, relations of any kind and how these are marked by technology, digitisation, and pop culture. They pursue a clearly feminist agenda.
The core team, consisting of Maren Becker, Laura Pföhler, Yasmin Fahbod, and Jolanda Uhlig, will be expanded with artists from their network according to the demands of their different projects.
