For thousands of years, the story has been told of the young Icarus, who is first trapped in the labyrinth of Crete, then flees the island with his father Daedalus and with the help of self-made wings. Attracted by the warming power of the sun, he leaves the safe flight path, flies too high and burns his wings in the process. He crashes into the Mediterranean - here, from the bottom of the sea, Icarus explores his own story. Between the urge for freedom and fate, the question arises: How do you tell a story about yourself? And what if he could fly again? With the help of his voice and lots of flotsam and jetsam and electronic waste, he explores the sound of his much-sung life in order to become certain of his own narrative.

In Tom Schneider's production, the actor Alduin Gazquez as Icarus takes us into his underwater world, where we participate in Icarus' search for himself.

A play for everyone aged 10 and over
