In GERMAN STAATSTHEATER, a group of per­for­mers will take you on an ener­ge­tic and per­for­ma­ti­ve jour­ney. In Hochdeutsch mit Variationen and through an inces­sant slap­stick of over­wrought bodies, they explo­re what com­mu­ni­ty and soli­da­ri­ty can still mean in the indi­vi­du­a­lis­tic and suc­cess-based soci­e­ty we live in.

Theatre-makers Rosie Sommers and Micha Goldberg (Ne mosqui­to pas) del­ve into the tra­di­ti­o­nal German staats­the­a­ter, a the­a­tre form dis­tin­guis­hed by its monu­men­tal charac­ter, tra­di­ti­o­nal pro­duc­ti­on logic and the sta­ging of soci­al­ly rele­vant reper­toi­re pie­ces. The expres­si­ve the­a­tri­ca­li­ty and the gigan­tic group of actors on sta­ge spark the Rosie & Micha’s ima­gi­na­ti­on as a kind of sym­bo­lic coun­ter­point to their own the­a­tri­cal prac­ti­ce.

GERMAN STAATSTHEATER is a tor­na­do of panic tur­ned into humor and self-moc­kery, ulti­ma­te­ly showing the power of com­mu­ni­ty. Here, the­a­tre is a pla­ce to cele­bra­te ​‘wasted’ ener­gy, in the form of exu­be­rant fun.
