Amazonen

Equipped with Lego figures, landscape models, live video and internet protest images, a storyteller sets out to trace an ancient myth: Once upon a time, a group of free women lived, worked and fought on the shores of the Black Sea. They founded a community without men and called themselves Amazons. How did this come about? And why did the male heroes of antiquity react so aggressively to this? This is a contemporary staging of the story for children between the ages of six and twelve.  Without adult supervision, AMAZONEN initiates an open discussion among peers on central issues of our time: Is it justified to use violence to defend oneself against external attacks? How far can or should we go to defend our own opinions and protest against (gender) injustices? Who are the Amazons of our time? And what does all this have to do with the Amazon?

This performance is for children only! The children experience theatre and, together with the performer, consider what this story has to do with them. We recommend that accompanying adults visit one of the nearby cafés during the performance.

Important note
Here you will find an online programme booklet for adults. These materials are intended as a stimulating and flexible guide to help you engage in conversation with the children after the performance.
