THEATER AN DER PARKAUE, Bühne 1

Modern people sit at their computers, are glued to their mobile phones, eat fast food and get through an endless amount of paper cups. We know all about the consequences of consumption for ourselves and the environment but instead of throwing away less we quieten our consciences with easy words. Both performers want to know more. They need their bodies, their voices and a screen to wade through the complexity of the theme. At the end they know one thing for sure: everything we do has a direct effect.

Performing Group approaches the theme of consumer behaviour with outstanding humour. The play creates a vision of the future in which an individual’s freedom to decide is in the forefront. TRASHedy is a cracking show using means that only theatre possesses.

Performing Group is a production ensemble that mainly concentrates on exploring and developing new forms of stage works with an unusual mixture of dance, theatre performance and video. The company was set up in 2013 and consists of Leandro Kees, Daniel Mathéus, Julia Mota Carvalho and Martin Rascher. It cooperates with the tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf (founded in 1998), a venue for productions and advanced training that aims to make contemporary dance better known to all age groups.
