In Simple Language:

Two dancers take us into the dressing room. They talk about their dream of performing on stage: about rehearsals, challenges, and the feeling of being different. The dancers share memories and experiences from the world of dance that are often left unspoken. They move in various dance styles, such as salsa, ballet, and house. They wear special costumes as they do so. The dancers ask themselves: What is dancing really all about? What makes us feel good? Some dances invite the audience to join in.

Creative audio description makes the performance accessible to all. Creative audio description means using words and voices to describe what’s happening on stage. This allows people who are blind to experience the performance as well.

The narration is primarily in German, with some English and Spanish.

Before each performance, there is a haptic tour. During this tour, the audience can explore the stage and touch objects.

Participation is optional. Through this performance, we experience dance together in a way that’s open to everyone.
