What kind of superhero do we need today? What could superheroes achieve if they worked in a team? How could I portray myself as a superhero or superhero?
In an alternative universe of grape juice lakes, blueberry mountains, a lemon sun and magical creatures, the two performers Tasha and Eevi question the images of strength and superpower with which children grow up. Together with the designers Katri and Helene, they create a fantasy world full of objects, colors and sounds on the Apfelsinenplatz in Gropiusstadt. Under the motto “Queering the Superhero”, they depict complex queer identities with the figures Elastrix and Stromax. They take care of the galaxy and learn to fly each other through the air along the way.
On three dates, they present a colourful show and then invite the children to join them in exploring the ‘Apfelsinen Galaxy’ at SUPERHERO ADVENTURE GAME.
A production of Offensive Tanz für junges Publikum Berlin as part of the RAUSGEHEN project, funded by TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Senate Department for Culture and Europe. In cooperation with the Berlin Mondiale and the Evangelical Congregation in Gropiusstadt.
