Three time travelers, a time ship, a crash: an unexpected arrival in a possible future. Will the world as we know it still exist? Is it all over? Is it the beginning of something new?
Our dance ambassador Valeria (14 years old) saw the play "In Zukunft bin ich ein Komet" at Theater Strahl at the end of January. The performance inspired her to write about her experience in poetry for our blog.

Bright light twitches and shows
The three dancers
On the stage one after the other
Their bodies are weak, they don't want to get up
Support each other, fall again
But with all their strength they finally succeed

Then they play pantomime
What will he show?
Everything or nothing?
They dance with each other
A back and forth
00:31:52
And a shock?
An electric shock
They twitch and dance
And in the flickering light
In the hissing and buzzing sound
They still feel the transmitted energy

Why are we here?
What do we do?
Do you trust me?
Always the same sentences
Without an answer, just the question
Why are we here?
What do we do?
Do you trust me?

When you simply don't have enough time
The day flies by
And you are stressed
Then there is emptiness
Is time also
Everything or nothing?
00:00:54
The end is near
Techno music as a finale?
No, everyone is waiting eagerly
The time on the display
Has been running the whole time from 4, 3, 2, 1...
00:00:00
Nothing happens
Brief perplexity and astonishment
A remote control is pulled out
