Mask theatre play with Kids : „Phantastische Wesen“

Age group: 9-11 years

Imagine what could happen when we take a  journey to another world? A world in which magic is the law and its inhabitants have unique abilities... In this project, we immersed ourselves in several of these magical worlds with our participants and encountered fairies, elves, superheroes, vampires, phoenixes and zombies whose paths became entangled.

With the method of mask und figure play theatre we invented stories, built our own masks and figures and played theatre.
 

Artistic direction Benjamin Porps, Josefine Malakci

"Culture and Identity" (Erasmus plus funded project)

 

In this project we looked at deviations from the “normal” (what is normal anyway?), with diversity, with “minorities” (what is actually a minority?). We researched and collected ideas about other sexual orientations, the meaning of “ethnic” origins, assumptions about refugees from different regions of the world, looked at religious rituals of different religions and how to deal with different ideas about life. And not at last how do we identify? What is our identity?
