What kind of superheroes do we need today? What could superheroes achieve if they worked in a team? How could I portray myself as a superhero or superhero?
In an alternate universe of grape juice lakes, blueberry mountains, a lemon sun and magical creatures, the two performers, Tasha and Eevi, question the images of strength and superpower with which children grow up. Together with the designers Katri and Helene, they create a fantasy world full of objects, colors and sounds on Apfelsinenplatz in Gropiusstadt. Under the motto ‘Queering the Superhero’, they depict multi-layered queer identities with the figures Elastrix and Stromax. They take care of the galaxy and learn to fly each other through the air on their way there.
On three dates, they present a colourful show and then invite the children to explore the ‘Apfelsinen Galaxy’ together with them in the SUPERHERO ADVENTURE GAME.
A production of Offensive Tanz für junges Audience Berlin as part of the project RAUSGEHEN, funded by TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund from funds of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media and the Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
