What makes us who we are? Inspired by Hans Christian Andersens’ „The Ugly Duckling“, Laurie Cannac and Andy Scott Ngoua tell a story about transformation, exclusion and finding yourself. In a poetic combination of puppet theater, dance and visual vernacular, dream-like images between despair, desire and liberation are created with puppets, projects, a convertible stage and live music. „La Langue des Cygnes“ was created through a collaboration between Deaf and hearing artists. The performance text was developed in French Sign Language which realizes its poetic quality and richness of expression here. In the projected performance of Deaf performer Karine Feuillebois and integrated in the choreographic physical expression, it becomes a universally accessible stage language. Audience discussion Following the performance, we invite the audience to attend a discussion with the artistic team that will be moderated by the cultural scholar Sebastian Köthe. The discussion will take place in English spoken language and will be interpreted into German Sign Language. Questions from the audience can be asked in German Sign Language as well as English or German spoken language. Accessibility A German Sign Language interpreter will be available before and after the performances to assist visitors as needed. The audience talk will take place in English spoken language and will be interpreted into German Sign Language. Questions can be asked in German Sign Language. Early boarding is available. Information about the accessibility of the venue in structural terms can be found here.
