Do you dare do it? – Angélica, Lola, Maxi, Estelle, Stefan and Jule ask themselves. The six of them challenge themselves and each other on the JES stage: Maxi and Angélica test how far they can go. Estelle sings: “My life is too much of a risk, that’s why I’ll stay here like this forever” – but is sure that there must be another way. Stefan tries to fly, Jule tries to let go and maybe Lola will talk about her scars.

All six of them face their challenges, desires and fears, try again and try differently and want to know: Where are boundaries, how can they be found, maintained, set or broken?

“Aus der Kurve fliegen” encourages people to trust each other and celebrate life together despite, but also because of, its uncertainties. With booming bass music, elements of breakdance and contemporary dance, “Aus der Kurve fliegen” invites you to dive in, overcome your fears and unearth your longings.

JES director Grete Pagan was nominated for the FAUST 2023 theatre prize in the “Theatre for Young Audiences” category with her urban dance theatre piece “Aus der Kurve fliegen”.
