Lebenslauf (Premiere, ab 8 J.)

In the organizer's words:

Every child knows it, right? Not everyone grows up with the same opportunities and starting conditions. Access to education, health, culture, fun and money are not equally distributed in our society. This can be seen in pocket money and clothing, in housing, summer vacations, school, career choices - everywhere. Why is this the case?

The play LEBENSLAUF explores together with the audience what needs to change so that everyone can determine their path in life more freely - regardless of their background. Verena Brakonier invites you to join her: she is a dancer and theater maker who grew up in her parents' car repair shop. With her art, she campaigns against classism: classism means when people are treated worse because they have less money or fewer educational opportunities, for example, because they are poorly paid, unemployed or live without a home - or because they don't know some unwritten rules, for example in the theater or at a university. The play LEBENSLAUF is a mixture of dance, theater and videos with own and invented stories. Together we develop ideas on how we can make our environment and the world fairer. What would happen if everyone had the same opportunities? And how do we get there?

LEBENSLAUF is a production by Verena Brakonier in cooperation with FUNDUS Theater. In co-production with PACT ZOLLVEREIN Essen.
