WUSCH! ZAK! PUF!

Who has not dreamt of becoming invisible? Or looking bigger and stronger? Or becoming a completely different being even?

“Wusch! Zak! Puf! Wie man erscheint und verschwindet” (how to appear and disappear) is a dance piece for children for 4 years old and above in which three green figures transform an empty stage into a landscape where they can let their dreams run wild. They bring bizarre creatures to life: There’s the zebra that doesn’t want to show itself; the peacock that tries to enchant us with its bright colours or the gentle moss giant that doesn’t quite know what shape it wants to take.

“Wusch! Zak! Puf!” is inspired by the camouflage behaviour of various animal species and tells a poetic story about self-expression and acceptance.
