Bin gleich fertig!
The day begins and the night is not over yet. Who likes to get dressed half asleep, and quickly at that? And what to wear anyway? The clothes giant steps out of the wardrobe and knows: ‘We clothes, we are your daily happiness. And what you don’t like, you hang back.’
‘Bin gleich fertig!’ is a good-humoured dress-up story for morning grouches and dress-up artists, rhymed with verve by Düsseldorf author Martin Baltscheit. Just as playfully as children conquer the world with speed and ingenuity, the new production for the very youngest is about the almost endless possibilities of putting on and taking off clothes and shoes. Until it’s finally time to go to daycare.
Choreographer and dancer Barbara Fuchs is one of the pioneers in the field of dance for the very youngest. She has received several awards with her company tanzfuchs, has been invited to a large number of festivals and is a regular guest at tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf. ‘Bin gleich fertig!’ is her first work for Junges Schauspiel.

GREEN
What do humans and plants have in common? At first glance we are very different, but if we look more closely, we have a lot in common: we grow, need the sun and are thirsty. Plants and humans both need to breathe. What does the breath of a plant feel and sound like? What is the rhythm of their movements? What does it sound like when plants touch each other? Do they talk to each other? The performers immerse themselves in the cosmos of plants and explore the way they move and unfold as they grow. Composer Jörg Ritzenhoff takes us into the sound world of plants and makes us experience the sounds of their growth.
“GREEN” is the first part of the series SPIELRÄUME, which deals with the interweavings of HUMAN-NATURE-ANIMAL-CITY-RURAL AREAS. The focus is on flora and its interrelations with humans. How do we perceive the green world of plants? Where else is “green” to be found? And how intertwined are we in this green world? All these questions resonate when the three performers explore the plant world before the eyes of the audience. Finally, “GREEN” will also be produced green and is dedicated to the topic of sustainability in the work process.

TOHUWABOHU | Arthur Schopa
For families, life sometimes seems like a big Tohuwabohu – there are challenges everywhere! Whether on the road, on the train, at school or at home, whether due to school cancels, staff shortages or the weather – chaos awaits everywhere. Parents have to take responsibility, while the children hardly know what to do with their energy. Yet everyone would rather have fun and games than stress and frustration. In the dance theatre production TOHUWABOHU, Arthur Schopa – father, choreographer and dancer – and his two sons, aged 5 and 8, bring their shared experiences in turbulent times to the stage. Through dance and movement, they tell of the challenges, the little moments of happiness and the colourful chaos of family life.

FOXX
FOXX_TRAILER from tanzfuchs PRODUKTION on Vimeo.
Foxes have many faces: they are cute and cunning predators, shy and curious at the same time. Free like a cat, but also sociable like a dog. They live in the forest as well as in the city, in the ice and in the desert. They move between worlds, adapt and conquer new places. They have many characteristics and many habitats. They sneak and jump, they bark and sing. They are considered clever, sometimes even magical. Never only good or only bad. They are at home everywhere and there are stories and fairy tales about them in all cultures.
The dance parable “FOXX” follows the trail of this versatile animal. Three performers immerse themselves in the world of the fox and test its abilities, movements and characteristics. They jump and move between the European Reineke and the magical nine-tailed Japanese Kitsune, between fairy tales and manga, traditional dances and K-pop. It will be colorful, fairytale-like, shrill and at the same time shy, sensitive and mysterious.
Choreographer Barbara Fuchs follows the tracks of the animal that gave her her surname. Composer Jörg Ritzenhoff creates atmospheric electro-acoustic soundscapes, Arthur Schopa creates a lively video image layer that interacts with the performers and playwright Charlotte Luise Fechner has written a fox parable for the production, which is also reflected vocally in FOXX.
FOXX has been nominated for the Cologne Children’s and Youth Theatre Prize of the SK Stiftung Kultur.
