    SYNOPSIS

    Black sorcerers can remove and replace their own heads, and cause it to rain whenever they want. This is the way they demonstrate their power. Or are these assertions just “Western” claims and clichés? The Ivory Coast dancer Gotta Depri confronts black magic with white magic: the computer, the internet and mobile phones. Everyone uses them but no one knows how they work. Unbelievable! Where do e-mails disappear and how do they land on another computer? This is white people’s magic. And you can dance it, not with magic tricks but with music. The Moks Theatre company and Gotta Depri perform stories about contemporary magical and technical phenomena. In doing so their perspectives jump backwards and forwards in exactly the same way as their languages. The show is in German and French and the actors on stage are simultaneously representatives of the European view of the world.

    The show was created under the direction of Monika Gintersdorfer and the pictorial artist Knut Klaßen, whose works are known for their interrelation between life and theatre.

    Moks Bremen was set up in 1971 as they young people’s department of the Bremen Theatre. It presents ambitious modern theatre which is always in search of new forms of expression. It is unique in Germany for offering all it shows completely free of charge to school groups from Bremen. Under the guidance of professional artists children and young people can play theatre themselves in the “Young Actors” Theatre School which was set up in 2005.
