Slapstick and self-mockery versus overstressed bodies and burn-outs

Performers Rosie Sommers and Micha Goldberg take you on an energetic journey in 'German Staatstheater'. With relentless slapstick and overstrained bodies, they illustrate the eternal workload of our society, resulting in burn-outs and a stress culture. They drew inspiration from the traditional 'German Staatstheater'. The result is a tornado of panic turned into humor and self-mockery, ultimately showing the power of community.

There will be smoking on stage during the performance.

"Op het podium staat een prachtige bende toneelspelers, zot, genereus, met slechte en goede ideeën, maar vooral met veel goesting. Met branie gaan ze uit de bocht. En zo wordt German Staatstheater alsnog een daad van verzet, tegen de romantische cultus van de individuele kunstenaar in, en tegelijk een ode aan de essentie van het spelen zelf, namelijk veranderlijkheid. En dat is in tijden waarin iedereen krampachtig zichzelf probeert te zijn op een podium, een frisse, zilte bries door het landschap."
