Henrike Iglesias:
FLAMES TO DUST

In the performance, death and grief are explicitly addressed and the experiences of those affected are shared. Among other things, the experience of losing a child is shared in detail in a chat.

The performance lasts 90 minutes and uses English and German spoken and written language. It is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. LED lights, fog and smoke will be used on stage. There is often darkness and black-outs during the performance. 

It is an interactive performance. Each audience member needs a mobile phone to participate in the performance. If you cannot bring a smartphone, the performance collective will provide one for you to participate in the performance. Through a QR code, you can call up a website on your mobile phone and intervene in the action on stage. Navigation on the website is in English written language. The performance collective interacts with the audience via the website. Depending on the reaction of the audience, interaction between performers and audience can happen. Sometimes different mobile phone sounds can be heard simultaneously from the audience. The performers will be happy to help you with any technical queries. Participation in the performance by actively using the website is voluntary. However, accessing the website on a mobile phone is necessary to participate in the performance.

The audience area comprises two rows of podiums facing each other. The audience will sit in these two rows facing each other during the performance. The space in between is used as a stage. There are two wheelchair spaces and two beanbag spaces integrated into these two rows at ground level. These can be reserved depending on availability or purchased in the online ticket shop or at the box office. If, for artistic reasons, the door to the auditorium does not open until very shortly before the performance begins, there is the option of early boarding. This is early admission for all people (especially with visible or non-visible disabilities) who want a specific seat or a more relaxed entrance. Early Boarding usually starts 10-20 minutes before the performance starts. The meeting point is next to the bar. Five minutes before early boarding begins, an announcement will be made on the spot to draw your attention to it. Our evening staff will be happy to help you find the meeting point.
