dance/performance for young audiences from 4 - we are working on it, premiere autumn 2021 - Team: Cast: Hsiao-Ting Lee, Salim Ben Mammar, Chih Wen Chung, Baptiste Bersoux Director, Choreography: Fang Yun Lo Stage design: Cristina Lelli Graphic artist: Agnes Gunawan Music: Marie Schulze Lighting design / technical direction: Max Rux Video design: Bodo Gottschalk / Studio 6 Production management: Sabina Stücker Six people from four countries - Germany, Taiwan, France and Indonesia. They all have their own world in which they make music, draw or dance, in which they work and dream, in which fish fly through the air or things are very big or very small. These are beautiful worlds, magical and spacious. And everyone can do something that the others can't. But the most exciting thing is to explore each other's worlds. Because there is a lot to discover and learn here. Together we become even bigger and more colourful. No matter how small or insignificant a single person may be - together we are all giants. NANO GIANTS is a journey through a theatrical wonderland where we explore the value of community. It is about simple but fundamental questions of human life: Are we small or big, in relation to what and whom? What can we do alone, what only together? Do we move or are we moved? Four dancers with different skills, from hip-hop to dance theatre, circus and parcours, share the stage with a musician and a graphic artist who conjures up ever new images directly on stage. NANO GIANTS is contemporary dance theatre not only for young audiences. NANO GIANTS playfully develops forms of living and working together, and creates utopias of community in all sizes and shapes together with the audience. Nano Giants is based on research made possible in 2020 by grants and residencies from the Tanzpakt Dresden, the Goethe-Institut Taipei, the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony and the Corona Special Fund of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
