Elbers/Zhukov – Democratic Playground / Westwind Festival

In the organizer's words:

Dance performance for everyone aged 14 and over

Who sets the tone? Whose voice must not go unheard? In Democratic Playground: Exploring the Room, Elbers/Zhukov and their accomplices explore the core of democratic processes: Willingness to negotiate, differences of opinion and changes of perspective. A square on the stage, a playing field: What position do you take, how do you behave when someone takes an opposing position? What happens when others join in? With every movement, with every new character, the play becomes denser, more complex, more lively. Relationships and dynamics emerge as a group of young performers gradually forms - or is it a band after all? Sounds, choreographies and words merge into a challenging game.

From May 31 to June 6, 2025, the Westwind Festival, the 41st Theatertreffen for young audiences in NRW, will take place at the Junges Schauspiel, FFT and tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf. You can look forward to ten exciting plays for children and young people from all over NRW, outstanding international guest performances and productions from the host theaters. Meet theater makers from NRW and from all continents.
