BLOOOM – a new production by Teatro 4Garoupas

A poetic fairy tale about growing up and the big questions in life.

Gargardenia can’t take it anymore! The adults are constantly whispering in her ear: “My little plant,
my little flower, my little rose” – animal names that are usually followed by swear words, insults or other unkind remarks. She begins to feel like the potted plants that are scattered everywhere.
How do they do it? They grow – and sometimes they even bloom – even without proper nourishment!

Today she dares to venture out into nature, which until now has meant nothing but dirt, mud and wet feet.
And there… Nature, nature: pure boredom. But in the great outdoors she makes some truly astonishing discoveries. But don’t just take our word for it, see for yourself!

Admission: children 6,- € / adults 10,- €

A physical theater research that examines bodies and voices for their extremes, their capacity for contact, for joy, for excess, for listening and trust. An exploration of how impulses flow together in the body and voice and how what concerns us makes its way through them. A poetic-physical treatise on what happens in the world, who we are in it and what we want. Two animals that are human.

Admission: free

Most of the time, Willi the raccoon and Laila the owl are very comfortable in their forest home, and they have been good friends for a long time.
And yet there’s always something to decide all day long: who gets to play the drum, that’s my apple, where are the wellies again, stop strumming, is there lunch now, you don’t know what you want anyway, but you already had the little guitar yesterday and you always know everything better…
Laila and Willi find joy in their own voices and self-determination between not-right-at-all and right-at-all. And, of course, they find out how to make decisions together.

Summarized in adult language:
Owl and Raccoon play around the children’s right to participation and use lots of music and humor to educate daycare children about democracy.
