Forever
Tabea Martin (CH)
Tanztheater (in dt. Lautsprache)
What if we lived forever? How do you imagine your own death? Who can die the most dramatically on stage?
With the help of interviews, games and workshops, children aged 8 to 12 developed very personal answers and fantasies to these questions. The resulting material forms the basis of this dance performance by choreographer Tabea Martin.
Together with five professional dancers, Martins FOREVER creates a world of immortality where the children’s fantasies bring ancient gods and creatures back to life.
With many litres of fake blood, buckets of tears and a washable stage surface, this contemporary dance performance is a visual, sensual, sensitive and humorous journey through the visual language of children.
FOREVER asks: How do children think about life and death, about dying and immortality? What fantasies do they have about life after death? And to what extent can and should we confront children with this topic in theatre contexts?
