Fremd 4.0

VolXbühne & A.TONAL.THEATER (Köln), Directed by Jörg Fürst

Eine Musiktheater über den Blick des Fremden auf uns

Last Performances!!!

"Good - and with very good actors and musicians." (Deutschlandfunk)
"... An exceedingly sensual round dance of music, movement and monologues about foreign views of being German." (CHOICES, Cologne City Magazine)

With musicians/performers from five continents, we take a look at the topic of home. In times of globalization, social media and a digitalized world, HOME has become a fragile feeling for us - a "phantom pain". In FREMD 4.0, VolXbühne traces this difficult concept through a 180-degree change of perspective with a multinational ensemble: How do FREMDE, who immigrated to Germany in the course of their lives, see our country, our society, our customs and traditions? We - as individuals as well as our entire society - need the foreign and the stranger to form our own identity, to sharpen our own view and self-definition through the view from outside. If the language is not understood, it is body language, smells, customs and everyday behavior that form the image of the stranger of us. Which images, physical signals, smells and customs first catch the eye of this stranger and can be identified as characteristics of our HOMELAND - our identity? The all-connecting, groundbreaking momentum in the performance, however, is and remains the music...

With: Aidara Seck (drummer & singer, Senegal), Mohammad "Saado" Kharouf (actor & dancer, Syria), Majela van der Heusen (double bass player & singer, Cuba), Pía Miranda (trombonist, Chile), Rudi Rumstajn (guitarist & kickboxer, Balkan)
