Sugar is loved, but sugar is also fought over - children on the one hand, adults on the other. In our new production, we want to find out why sugar has such power over us. In a self-experiment. Using seven sweets, we will test together with the audience: What exactly is sugar and how is it created? Can you dance sugar? What do we experience during a sugar rush and why do we want more and more of it? What kind of sweets do children in Brazil eat? What does it actually mean when something is sweet? And above all: what stories does sugar have to tell? There has always been a battle over sugar. Since the time when it was still an Indian spice, sugar has been everywhere: on the ship with which Christopher Columbus supposedly discovered the sugar islands, and even in normal beets.

To ensure that our experiment works really well, we ask our audience not to eat any sugar before attending the performance! The amount of sugar administered during the performance will not exceed the average daily sugar intake of children in Hamburg.
