Chicxulub

Chicxulub

Company member Dominik White Slavkovský creates Chicxulub or The Devil’s Flea, a dance piece for children aged 6 and up – and for grown-ups who aren’t afraid of eccentric encounters with dinosaurs, off-the-wall characters, and a wildly imaginative world. At the heart of the story are a young prince and his sister, who escape the monotony of everyday life by diving into a digital parallel universe. There, they come across a gang of modern-day superheroes, a mysterious devil, and an ancient dinosaur – all of whom bring a fair bit of chaos to the mix. But this video game world isn’t the safe haven it first appears to be. Before long, unwelcome news from the real world breaks through, and the siblings must face up to what they’re running from. The narrative travels from classic fairy-tale motifs into outer space, blending elements of comic books, video games, and adventure films into a fast-paced choreography. In the end, it’s not about escaping, but about growing together, meeting life’s challenges head-on, and carving out your place in a complicated world – with imagination and courage. A co-production with the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Performed in German. Suitable for ages 5 and above

00h 50m without intermission

Artists/Collaborators: Dominik White Slavkovský (Choreographie), Egon Thuile (Musik), Louis Caspar Schmitt (Bühne und Licht), Maria Ubaldino Abreu (Kostüme), Katja Wiegand (Dramaturgie)
