WUW - Wind and Wall - Performance for children at the Frei Art Festival 2025

WUW - Wind and Wall explores the turbulent time between childhood and adolescence. No longer a child and not yet a teenager - a formative and challenging phase of life.

With the shifting metaphors of wind and wall, WUW explores the ambivalent space between closeness and distance, control and chaos, pressure and play.

A mobile wall separates and connects two dancers at the same time - it becomes a physical expression of emotional tensions, boundaries and the desire to break through them. The unpredictable, constantly changing wind reflects the inner ups and downs of growing up - emotional rollercoaster rides, transformation and the gap between personal ideals and reality.

WUW is a visually striking and emotionally moving journey, full of surprises, adventures and quiet moments of vulnerability.

What happens when the wind hits a wall? How do we find creative ways to overcome walls?

The performance for children and adults will take place as part of the Frei Art Festival 2025 on Alfred-Döblin-Platz. There will be two performances at 14:00 and 16:00. Afterwards, the dancers invite you to an open dance workshop.
