Creative childcare on September 20

Ruhrtriennale invites with ›Happy Sundays‹ families to enjoy Sundays together. Children aged between 6 and 11 can get creative during an afternoon performance: with guidance from theatre educators, they explore music, dance, and play. While the adults are at the theatre, a playful art space is created for the kids. Childcare will be available in Studio 2 at PACT Zollverein on 20 September, coinciding with the performance of ›Waste Me‹. Tickets can be booked via the webshop of Ruhrtriennale

Eine Szene aus der Perfomance Waste Me: Auf der Bühne ist eine große Ansammlung von Alltagsgegenständen wie Kleidung, Matratzen, Haushaltsgeräten und weiteren Objekten zu sehen, die zu einem chaotischen Haufen gestapelt sind. Im Vordergrund steht eine Person in einem auffälligen Kostüm aus mehreren grünen Schaumstoffrollen, die am Körper befestigt sind. Eine weitere Person in einem hellen Kostüm mit spitzen Formen befindet sich auf dem Haufen. Nebel oder Rauch zieht am unteren Bildrand entlang. Die Szene ist farbenfroh und wirkt theatralisch inszeniert.

We are a throwaway society. Order it today, have it delivered tomorrow – and whatever we don’t like immediately ends up in the bin. Everything is available constantly and what’s new ages fast. What we own defines us. The new Nike trainers? Give them here, I need them too! There is no better feeling than ripping the packaging off your latest order. In ›Waste Me‹ five performers live in a rubbish heap of possessions. They have adapted to this environment and transformed themselves into objects. Can we free ourselves from this over-consumption? And what will be left of us and our relationships with our fellow human beings? In this production for teenagers, adults alike and families, Cecilia Moisio uses dance, theatre and live music to create a world of trash art, in which objects and people have become interchangeable, and consumerism has become a prison we have made for ourselves.
