In the organizer's words:

A dance theater piece by Neele Buchholz and Tomas Bünger

"Orange is not alone" is about people, about feelings, about differences. It's about colors, about encounters, about togetherness. In the dance(-)theater(-)piece, eight dancers with and without disabilities move on stage. They move in spaces. They move in, they move in, they move together. They move out, they move into another space.

Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. Sometimes chaos, sometimes storm. Together somewhere in the party cellar. Dancing together, like really whizzing. They hold each other, they belong to each other. They are very close, they are connected. They play, they take each other seriously. Not quiet like a statue, not boring. Everyone is important, no one is excluded. Everyone sits in the corner. Blue like friendship, pink like soft and chewing gum, green like longing, yellow like an open window, purple like a box of ink, black like the night. Skin like a person and feel and transparency. Orange wants to be seen, orange belongs in the group. Maybe we'll go out onto the balcony and look, like a rainbow scattering. Maybe we'll find a space - for me, for you, for us. Maybe we'll find it here.
