The world is filled to the brim with people and animals, small comedies and great tragedies: from the grey of a concrete cube, a lively, colourful city gradually unfolds with gardens and a library, building sites and blue lights, real and fantastic everyday heroes, a goalkeeper who writes, an autograph hunter, a mayor and an astonished fairy. In keeping with the hustle and bustle, there is a confusing mix of different languages in the air, Portuguese and German, both spoken and signed.

Everything somehow happens at the same time, is interwoven, wants to be discovered, processed and spun further until, in interaction with the others, a completely unique hidden object world is created. And out of the interpersonal encounters and the coexistence of different attitudes and ways of life, confidence grows in the midst of the confusion.

Many thanks to Hannah Häberle and Ralf Wiebel for the DGS interpretation during the rehearsals.

*Deaf* includes different identities and life realities such as deaf, hard of hearing, CI-wearing and later deaf.

Sensory impressions such as bright light, loud noises or sudden events can be overstimulating or overwhelming for some people. That’s why you’ll find a list of sensory stimuli in “Unsere neue große Welt” here. They may be good to be aware of for you or someone who is attending the performance with you.

– There is soft, recorded music. At one point, music comes from a small music box on the stage.

– There are video recordings on stage.

– There is a large, grey cube on the stage. The actors unfold the cube and dismantle the walls. Each wall of the cube looks different.

– There are many large and small objects. For example, a rubbish bin, small figurines and a human-sized carrot. The objects are carried, pushed and placed on the stage by the actors. Some objects appear suddenly.

– The actors often disappear behind the cube and then reappear. They often have new costumes when they reappear.

– At the beginning of the play, the audience is asked to take off their shoes.

– At the end of the play, the audience is invited onto the stage. They are allowed to take a closer look at all the objects and play with them briefly.
