House of Dance

In the organizer's words:

A morning in a dance studio in a small town. It's the day before the big audition at the local community hall. The day Toni hopes to land a spot in the "Teen Tap Dance Road Show." Thanks to acceptance into the traveling tap dance group, Toni could finally leave the hated small town and, in the logical sequence of events, earn millions before the age of 40. Toni's dance teacher Martle has never heard of the troupe, but he still has a choreography ready: the "L'Accapella de Jim", or, as it is called in Barcelona, the "Capella Jim". But the rehearsal is always disrupted. Toni's stepparents keep sending messages on his cell phone, the pianist Jo, who is actually responsible for the discreet musical support, seems to be in a bad mood about something and keeps intruding more or less obtrusively. And then Gigi also appears, desperately searching for her missing ballet leotard, possibly once dating Martle and actually banned from the house ... "House of Dance" shows a world in which small-town existence threatens to stifle big dreams, but in which people's longings and desires stubbornly live on beneath the surface against all odds. The New York writer and director Tina Satter, who was a guest at the Schaubühne with her production "Is This A Room" at FIND 2022, is working with a German-speaking ensemble for the first time for her piece "House of Dance".
