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.
