Awakening is a non-verbal theatre show, based

on mime, clowning, visual theatre elements,

aerial circus acrobatics, and music – written for

one rope, two characters and several fairies…

Awakening brings you to a magic world, where

you tell a story without words.

This awakening is not leading you to the morning

wake-up calls, but to a dream that is full of fun.

It wakes you up with that waggish smile on your

face, as your dream colors up the greyish world.

Here, magic doesn’t require anything else, but a

pillow, and if it’s too dark, you light up the sky by

the stars that you draw with your own fingers.

“For many years I mistook myself for someone, who

doesn’t exist; and even beyond years, I mistook the

impalpable for the impossible. Countless fairies,

neither one nor more: that is what I am, the rest is just

appearance.”

Excerpt from the poem Vortex by Sándor Weöres. With humour, poetry and self-reflection, this performance is looking into our own pettiness, cowardice, anxiety, but also our moments of bravery and affection, while we are trying to understand our behaviour as humans.

A story about the duality of humankind, displayed by two characters: our two faces – searching for our essential self inthe mess of boundaries, dreams, and thenever ending process of growing up.
