Schaum ich an

Junges Nationaltheater Mannheim
Materialtheater (in dt. Lautsprache)

It’s not solid and not liquid. Sometimes it’s very light and airy, sometimes solid, almost like stone: foam. Foam is practically everywhere! In the bath, in the sink, in the walls, on waves, on skin before shaving, in egg whites when whipped, in cola, well shaken, anyway: effervescent powder. Construction foam. Foam soup. Foaming with rage. . And if you put washing soap in the dishwasher, you get an infinite amount of foam. You can also make foam with spit. And foam makes noises. When you blow onto it, when small and large bubbles burst, when you tap it or sing into it. Foam parties exist for a reason, after all.

In this new production for the very youngest audiences, the Young National Theatre, directed by Lara Kaiser, continues its material research for the 2+ age group. After balls, mud and colours, the artistic team now turns its attention to the everyday phenomenon of foam and asks itself how it can be viewed, made to sound, dance and disappear in the theatre space.

Information on sensory stimuli

Sensory impressions such as bright light, loud noises or sudden events can be overstimulating or overwhelming for some people. That’s why you’ll find a list of sensory stimuli in “Schaum ich an” here.
They may be good to be aware of for you or someone who is attending the performance with you.

  • There is a flap on the floor of the stage. Sometimes something or someone comes out of the flap.
  • There are soap bubbles and a foam machine. Foam floats through the air.
  • The foam machine is suddenly switched on and makes motorised noises.
  • Colorful light.
  • Background music.
  • At the end of the play, the performer joins the audience.
  • After the performance there is a discussion and the audience is invited onto the stage to play with the foam.
