BÄÄÄM
Wild and soft, spherical and angular, shimmering and fluid, solid and fluttering, heavy and floating – three performers play with objects and bodies, dancing and drumming, stomping and jumping, tapping and sounding. The hearing-impaired performer Geli Strahl, the dancer Moonjoo Kim and the percussionist Rie Watanabe explore rhythms, vibrations and oscillations that flow through the body and invite the audience to participate with all their senses – completely without language. A discovery tour through sound waves, body waves and wow moments for a deaf and hearing audience – calm and fast-paced, clear and chaotic, precise and haphazard, humorous, quirky, playful, crazy – BÄÄÄM.

Federn federn (2+)
Feathers fly. Bird feathers, for example. Springs bob. These are mechanical springs. When you take a closer look, you realise: What kind of feathers and springs there are! And what they can do!
Springs can look like spirals. Then they are stretchy and somehow twisted or turning. It’s only when you take a closer look that you realise what kind of springs there are and what they can do. They can bounce, fly, be elastic, move fast, swing back and forth, swing forwards, swing backwards, cushion, pad and: spring. So many properties. So much movement. So can feathers perhaps also dance? Or can people dance like feathers? Or with them?
After everything that is round, after mud and soap foam, the Young National Theatre is once again devoting itself to a selected material in a new production for everyone aged 2 and over. Choreographer Barbara Fuchs, an expert in dance theatre for the very young, is developing a new piece with musician Jörg Ritzenhoff and dancer Julia Headley-Rohmann, in which everything revolves around feathers and feathers.
Choreography: Barbara Fuchs

Bin gleich fertig!
‘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 (Adaptation)
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.
