„Tu comprends?“ – „Verstehste?“
Théâtre du Chocolat (Cameroon) and Theaterhaus Ensemble (Germany)
Three women and three men, three Cameroonians and three Germans. Actors, a dancer and a musician meet on stage. They show to each other what they can do: dance, make music and act. They try to understand each other in different languages, in different arts and through their very different cultural backgrounds. In ever-new combinations, they challenge each other and learn from one another: by singing, dancing waltz to African children’s songs and telling stories.A joyful play about Comprehending and Uncomprehending in complicated times and, above all, about humor.
In German, French and other languages, suitable for ages 6 and up.
