Die Sache mit den Dingen

"I own roughly everything, or nothing at all" - Christine Schmitt

We all are surrounded by all kinds of objects. Always and everywhere. However, things mean something different to everyone. They are part of our everyday lives, souvenirs or even our identity.

"Die Sache mit den Dingen" explores the question of who owns the things we share the world with. What do we find beyond these things? And what remains in the end? A hat, a cup, an umbrella, a chair - the two dancers don't need much more to create a playful, poetic and humorous world. However, each is at home in her very own universe. Do things belong in a row or in a pile? And which is chaos or order? How can community and trust arise even though we all deal with things differently? What happens when we are so different and yet still together?

The dance theater shows a negotiation of territory and rights and embarks on a choreographic search for giving and taking. The audience becomes part of an adventure with longing melancholy, spirited confrontations and strange absurdities.
