Creeping Creatures
A microcosmic theatre journey by ogalala kreuzberg.
Small, many-legged, hairy, wing-flapping, buzzing, whizzing, whirring, chirping, crawling, stinging, blood-sucking creatures usually are not our best friends. We rather associate them with a lack of hygiene, itchy bites and sleepless nights. We look at them with disgust or even fear: Oh, how creepy! In fact, we are in an ongoing battle with insects.In „Creeping Creatures“ we invite you to discover the wondrous world of insects from an entirely new perspective: as a universe of charismatic personalities, survival specialists, extravagant dancers, singers, fashion heroes, ambitious show-stars, politicians and neurotic workers.

„InBetweenFires#2“
15./16.10.2022 19:30
Unser ukrainisch-belarusisch-deutsche Theaterprojekt “MinskiyBerlin” zeigt sein Stück “InBetweenFires” noch einmal!
Spring 2022. A deserted landscape becomes the temporary home for a handful of vagabonds seeking shelter and food. Each of them has their own interpretation of what happened and how to go on from there. Together they set off to look for a better life, meeting with german burocracy, with hope, fury, despair – and somethimes even laughter. The ukrainian-belarusian-german theatre company “MinskiyBerlin” comprises the individual perspectives on current events to an intense theatrical evening. Premiere: July 2022.

Als am Nachmittag des Mittwoch, 16. März 2022 eine russische Bombe das Drama Theatre im Herzen der belagerten Hafenstadt Mariupol zerstörte, war das nur der vorläufige Tiefpunkt der systematischen und vollständigen Zerstörung der Stadt ohne jede Rücksicht auf die Zivilbevölkerung durch die russische Armee.
Diesem unvorstellbaren Akt haben wir einen Abend entgegengesetzt, der der Stadt Mariupol und ihren Menschen ein Gesicht und eine Stimme gibt.

Belief Matters
A ukrainian-german film dialogue
follow us on instagram
Who do you believe you are? Who do you believe I am? And who do I believe I am?
These seemingly simple questions accompany us for a lifetime and turn up in ever new contexts. In the international theatre-project “Belief Matters” we explore the fundamental beliefs that determine our identity, our personal choices and our world view in a dialogue with our colleagues from the youth theatre Teatromaiya (Mariupol/Ukraine). Along different stages of a fictional journey through our lives, we deal with topics such as the beginning and the end, freedom, hope, time, money, spiritual search, resistance, illness and old age.
The theatrical miniatures that are created and filmed by both teams are presented here:
Magic Belief I Магічна віра
It is in our childhood that we have the strongest and unconditional believes – magic, strong, untampered by reason.
Money Matters I Грошові питання
Love it or hate it – the eternal have or have-not, give and take, sell and buy defines our lives…
Freedom I свобода
Teatromaiya show us a very personal approach to freedom: it begins with the freedom you actually allow yourself to have…
Spiritual Search I Духовний пошук
Spritual Search is a live-long process, here seen and interpreteted by Teatromaniya actress Karina
Resistance I Опір
Are you ready to fight for your beliefs? To resist against opponents and antagonistsd? By ogalala kreuzberg.
Old Age I Старість
A reflection about passing time and lasting moments. By Teatromaniya
Початок I Beginning
