Wie war das nochmal? (How did that go again?)
Talk Talks & Workshops Place to be
In our talk series in which we remember special moments from 25 FFT years, we will now reminisce about the legendary staging of Adieu which Belgian choreographer Ives Thuwis developed together with ten Düsseldorf youths at the FFT in 2004. On stage, they dealt with farewells, dying, and death. The staging went on to receive numerous festival invitations and remains one of the most successful FFT productions to this day. It was a formative experience for all involved: It sits at the start of Ives Thuwis’ international career and it inspired some of the participants to take up a professional stage career while it revolutionised the perspective on artistic work with youthful performers.
