“Wege ins Theater”
The way to the second theater visit in Munich on January 21, 2017 was cold and led us over snow and ice. But we were still in a great mood.
Saturday was all about Shakespeare and the expressive form of movement and dance theater. Playing with speeds, levels, gestures, poses – these are important means of expressing a story without words but with the means of the body.
The stories that were the subject of this day were written down by the English poet William Shakespeare almost 500 years ago.
Romeo loves Juliet, Hamlet loves Ophelia, King Lear loves his daughters. And yet all these stories end with more than a few dead bodies and broken hearts. Why is love so often accompanied by hatred and jealousy, so that a happy ending often recedes further and further into the distance? The team behind the production “For you my love” also asked themselves this question.
We watched the dance play together at the Schauburg, the Theater der Jugend der Stadt München.
We were impressed by the many different ideas that the three actors and two dancers surprised us with when telling the stories.
“A wonderful day! It’s really fun and exciting!”
That was the opinion of Selina, 15, who has now attended a theater performance for the second time.
