LOUDsoft & Olivia Hyunsin Kim/ddanddarakim: Schrumpf! Mr.Yellow

Collage-like stage scene in a large industrial hall: Several people stand in front of a stylized stage with colorful, rainbow-like curtains. A person in the center holds a small string instrument, on the left a person in a striking white costume with an elaborate headpiece is in motion, and on the right a person in a shiny jacket stands with a raised arm. The scene combines drawn and photographic elements – including a lit dressing mirror, speakers, a green screen on a stand, and scattered graphic shapes, fruits, and small objects that appear to float in space.

At Schrumpf!, Berlin-based ensembles present their current productions in a family-friendly format. New art forms are discovered, spaces are explored, movements are tried out, sounds are listened to – and everyone can join in!

Mr. Yellow is a cabaret performance centered on the way others see us and how we present ourselves. Together with drag queen Vivienne Lovecraft, tenor Holden Madagame, and director and performer Olivia Hyunsin Kim, we will experience a grand show where drag, opera, performance, and dance come together. Big questions are raised – what makes a person a boy, a girl, or neither, non-binary? How do you know what you are? And how do you know what I am? In between, we see humorous cabaret numbers full of glitter and great music – and of course, everyone dances along.
