AGORA Theater (B)

Attempts at Flying (Flugversuche)

They have a job, a mission: Gabriella, Lucie, and Raph are practicing the art of being angels and they take the audience with them on their mission. Fly, stand, maintain your composure, observe, glow and disappear: These are their most difficult exercises.

They land where they are needed: at a patient's bedside, on a busy street, in a school or on the battlefield. They understand the lives and worries of humans and they accompany them with kindness and knowledge of human nature until the last breath. Meticulously, they document the course of time. So they have a lot to do - but they may not intervene in the course of things. Until the day when they are faced with a decision that has serious ethical implications...

With objects, dance and live music, the three heavenly actors tell a story about flying and falling and what it means to take responsibility. An enchanting play concerning a major topic, humorously performed.

Play with objects, dance and live music (9+)
