O-Team (DE)

Early in the morning, huge garbage trucks rattle through the streets and swallow up our rubbish before disgorging it elsewhere. What happens to our trash there, and who takes care of it? Elsewhere, completely different rules apply, different beings live there, different things happen. Elsewhere, cleaning sponges whizz around gleefully, witches concoct enchanted slime in bins and a plastic mound gracefully pirouettes. It’s a realm both magical and vibrant, but also a bit dirty, smelly and scary.

The O-Team challenges us to embark on a journey, transporting us to an alternate realm. Their stage is populated by small robots, an inquisitive vacuum cleaner and all kinds of creatures fashioned from trash. Through a vibrant object theater, they weave a tale of this captivating dimension without words but with lots of music.

The O-Team often works in interdisciplinary formations in content-rich, visual formats that are both sensual and intellectual. The projects range between the fields of performance, puppet and object theatre, visual theatre and immersive formats. To date, they have created over 30 projects, which have also been presented at guest performances and festivals in Germany and abroad. “Woanders” [Elsewhere] is their first production for a young audience.

Please note: Stage fog is used in the production.
