SHORT DESCRIPTION:
This musical dance-theatre production it marks the inaugural creation of the Jupiter project, co-produced by the Staatstheater Hannover in collaboration with the Theaterformen Festival and the Hamburg Theatre Academy. Now part of the association cinquantatré, based in Basel, Switzerland. The production is supported by ROXY Birsfelden, Pro Helvetia, and Fachausschuss Theater & Tanz.
.
At its heart are three exceptional disabled performers who bring to life original songs composed by Swiss musician Gina ÉTÉ. These songs explore fragility across a spectrum of personal and political dimensions, revealing its complex and multifaceted nature.
.
Can fragility be a powerful political statement?
Does fragility hold the unique ability to unite people, challenging the toxic ideals of strength, beauty, and success perpetuated by ableist societies?
How can fragility serve as a force for transformation?
.
Through a dynamic mix of direct, political, and poetic expression infused with humor, the performers embody fragility, they support one another, care for each other, and playfully build and dismantle stereotypes, images and stage settings.
In exposing the mechanisms behind these constructed 'illusions,' the performance invites the audience to imagine a future where diversity replaces the rigid ideals of the 'norm.'
