I feel my body slowly freezing. I’m excluded, don't belong, hear prejudices. Why are the others preferred? Why am I treated differently? Is it because I don't look and speak like most of the people around me? And where has this rock in my stomach come from?!
The dance-theater piece "Geh nicht in den Wald, im Wald ist der Wald" (Don't go into the forest, the forest is in the forest) deals with the topic of discrimination. With movement and language, the ensemble shows how difficult it is to talk about exclusion. What is "just" fun and games for some is a die-hard reality for others. However, it ultimately affects each of us.
Geh nicht in den Wald, im Wald ist der Wald

Participatory art mediation programs:
Following the performance, students can explore themes of the play in a workshop by dancing, playing and letting their imaginations run free. What does exclusion feel like and why does it only affect some people? Is there a right way and I wrong way to move? - does a norm even exist? Following a body warm up, atendees will dance out phrases from the play, discuss its themes and practice creativity and improvisation.
