We locate “RAU(E)NÄCHTE” between the last and first breath of the year - where time falls through the cracks and certainties falter. The go plastic company's new production unfolds a multi-layered landscape of sound, body and narrative, inspired by the twelve mysterious nights between the years.

The Raunächte - once customs, superstitions, protective rituals - are today a projection surface, resonance space and cultural memory. “RAU(E)NÄCHTE” explores the potential of this in-between space: What remains when the noise falls silent? What do we hear when we listen?
Twelve figures - developed from mythological, regional, queer-feminist and pop-cultural fragments - take shape in two experiential spaces: as a walk-in installation and as a sounding, tangible search for traces along a performative panel. Bodies become archives, voices become carriers of memory, movement becomes ritual.

The production interweaves contemporary dance with audio art and installation - barrier-free and multisensory experience. It opens up spaces for blind and visually impaired people as well as for an audience that wants to engage with other forms of perception.

“RAU(E)NÄCHTE” is not a retelling, but an invitation: to pause, to feel, to listen collectively.
