For all ages 11 and up.

“DU BIST DRAN!” (YOUR TURN!) is a quartet for four performers – and an audience. In this dance performance for everyone aged 11 and up, games and game rules are explored performatively and choreographically on stage: Who plays where and with whom? Who wins, who loses? Are rules necessary for fair play? Who gets to invent new rules? Which boundaries are crossed – and which are not? And what does any of this have to do with being on stage?

In “DU BIST DRAN!”, even the rules of the theater itself are put to the test. Participation is experienced differently here than in a ‘normal’ theater setting: the audience is invited to join in and co-create, to move, and to actively influence the course of the performance.

With humorous dance improvisations, deliberate audience involvement, and a few sly tricks, “DU BIST DRAN!” takes a closer look at social questions of power, belonging, exclusion, and fairness. Dancers and audience alike must stay sharp to avoid being played into a corner – and to play their final trump card at just the right moment. Because who ends up winning – and why – is only decided in the end.
