Fight for your fairytale
go plastic company
The figure of the witch polarizes and appears again and again in a wide variety of contexts – sometimes in historical or contemporary, sometimes in political or pop-cultural contexts. Fight for your fairytale is the go plastic company’s new project, which is being realized as a pop-up piece for young audiences as part of explore dance. It is dedicated to the figure of the witch, her changing image, her rich history and far-reaching impact. The focus is on dealing with one’s own and other people’s powers as an identity-forming process, with self-determination and heteronomy. It is a multidisciplinary play that enchants and perhaps heals.
The play contains German language in writing and sound and was created in cooperation with the Gymnasium Klotzsche.
The production is suitable for everyone aged 12 and over.
