Bookpink - Ein dramatisches Kompendium

In the organizer's words:

Dirt peacock was abandoned by his mother as an egg in the forest and is looking for an explanation for his botched life, the flamingos dream of freedom in their display case, swamp tit Veroniko rebels against gender stereotypes, turkey is into esotericism and opens an energy center, pigeon dreams of baroque music on the campsite, buzzard lives in a concrete hall and no longer speaks, although he might have answers to all the other birds' questions inside him... And all kinds of weeds try to get politically involved in order to assert their place between the cracks in the pavement - when they are already permanently at the mercy of the chaos of the changeable weather and the whims of nature.

In seven tragicomic miniatures, Caren Jeß sketches human longings and abysses in feathers. A whole panopticon of weird plumage with its dreams, fears and longings pours out its heart and seeks its way in life. Their subtle, melancholy wordplay spans the arc between bottomless ordinariness and the poetry of the utopian. The six final-year drama students, directed by Florian von Hoermann, turn the theater space into a laboratory of the creative and slip into the 36 feathered roles with relish. They act, sing and dance. They decorate the banal with colorful feathers and, pecking and scratching along the way, scratch at the big existential questions of being human.
