Best actress 2022 critics' survey Theater Heute - nomination for Lucca Züchner

Receiving standing ovations from the audience, laurels from the critics and four awards from the experts: a virtuoso solo by Lucca Züchner, who pulls out all the stops of her skills. With her acting qualities, she can effortlessly slip into all 12 characters, from the comedic to the abysmal, and also shines in dance sequences ranging from classical ballet to gimmicky musicals. The subtle direction brings the main character of the play to maximum development.

Underneath the light-footed, charming and humorous story of the talented dancer Odette's life, things are boiling over, as the affection of a dear family friend has quickly developed from initial assaults ("tickling") to outright abuse. After intimidation and speechlessness, dancing becomes an outlet for Odette, a salvation for her soul, which ultimately gives her the strength to raise her voice, to make public what has always been covered up and to come to terms with and reveal the dubious roles of all those involved.

School performances: A play with which we support schools and initiatives in preventing and empowering their pupils against sexual violence. Educational theater workshop possible before the performance. Accompanying material and audience discussion with the artistic team under theater pedagogical direction after the performance.

"Fulminant solo"

Süddeutsche Zeitung

"For an hour and a half, you experience how important and exciting real theater is."

Egbert Tholl, Süddeutsche Zeitung

Topic: "sexualized violence". Difficult? Yes - and at the same time no. What Lucca Züchner shows with "Kitzeleien -Tanz der Wut" (...) is great. Poignant. And thoroughly entertaining. Standing ovations for a theater highlight."

"Anything but a sweet secret"

Sabine Leucht, Münchner Feuilleton

"I've never seen anything so great, I really had goosebumps in between," said one audience member, completely overwhelmed by what she had just experienced. Standing ovations and never-ending applause show: She is not alone in this feeling. The 90-minute play "Kitzeleien - der Tanz der Wut" ("Tickling - the dance of rage") is not only a virtuoso solo performance by a first-class actress, but also a tremendously impressive examination of the subject of abuse."
