Ich kann's nicht lassen · Ein partizipatives Stück mit Krump-Tänzer*innen

What you need to know

On stage, not in seats: the audience moves with the dancers the whole time, with only a few seats, so close contact is likely
Loud music, ear protection provided, plus brief flashing lights, short dark moments and some stage fog
Grown-ups join in too, so come ready to move rather than watch from the side

About

Kids and grown-ups don't sit and watch here: they share the stage with four professional krump dancers and help decide how the piece unfolds. Krump is a street dance born in Los Angeles as a response to inequality, built on community and backing each other. Choreographer Janne Gregor turns it into a group game, so every show comes out different. A good fit for movers, less so for shy watchers.

Kids up to 12 €7, adults €15
