Eröffnungsfest der Jungen Theaterwerkstatt

In the organizer's words:

With Grote Mensen, One Man Zoo, Welcome Greetings (4 p.m.)

The Junge Theaterwerkstatt gets going: cleaned up and decorated for the start of the season, it opens all its doors and invites people of all ages to a party. Whether terrace, forecourt, theater hall, foyer or rehearsal stage - the house will be filled with a colorful program for a year. Guest performances from all over the world, clubs, residencies for theater groups and discussion panels show and offer everything that is important in theater for young audiences. And that should be celebrated! With lemonade, sparkling wine and popcorn, the festival community gathers on the terrace in good weather. To warm up, they can look out for Ariel Doron on the forecourt and discover small hands-on activities in the foyer. From around 3.30 p.m. there will be official words of welcome and after the performance of "Grote Mensen" from 6 p.m. you can dance joyfully into the season!

The Junge Theaterwerkstatt am Zoo is a place for everyone, OPEN to ideas and visions, eager for unexpected encounters and curious about the different perspectives that come together here.

What does the theater of the future look like in Frankfurt? The Junge Theaterwerkstatt is asking this question together with young and old people, families, artists, institutions, politicians and urban society. Come, watch and join in! Everyone is welcome!

Program highlights:

companie barbarie & Theater Bronks
Grote Mensen

The rousing, turbulent and completely ludicrous horror comedy "Grote Mensen" by companie barbarie and Theater Bronks from Brussels kicks off the first program hotspot. As the opening production of the Junge Theaterwerkstatt am Zoo, the production, which is touring worldwide, turns the tables: the play for all ages 4 and up and all grown-ups does not deal with the lives of children, but with the highly chaotic, strange and questionable behavior of the "grown-ups" - uninhibitedly reaching into the theater's bag of tricks and celebrating the theater as an invaluable place.

Ariel Doron
One Man Zoo

The puppeteer and director Ariel Doron already finds his audience on the forecourt of the Theaterwerkstatt - regardless of whether they are looking for their way into the Theaterwerkstatt or the zoo: "One Man Zoo" makes the question of how humans and animals can exist together tangible in a very concrete and incredibly moving way. An entire zoo literally grows, meanders, creeps or crawls out of its body together with Doron - crowned by the raised head of a giraffe.
