Forwards, to the right, to the left, diagonally and diagonally and backwards! Can people reach a goal that is perhaps not even in front of them, and if so – how could that work? Choreographer Kosmas Kosmopoulos asked himself whether it really always has to go forwards, and his new piece tries to provide answers backwards.

Those interested can visit this work before the premiere, during its creation – watch parts of the dance piece and ask what it is like when you swap front and back, true and false, right and wrong. And when you still try to somehow make progress. This Schrumpf! creates a movement game with an open end: everyone comes on stage, just not straight ahead.
Children, bring your adults with you. Adults, bring your children with you.
At Schrumpf!, Berlin ensembles present their current productions – in family format. New art forms are discovered, places are explored, movements are tried out, sounds are listened to – and everyone can join in.
