Inflated bodies storm onto the stage. Each kitted out with his or her own personal protective clothing, an AIR BAG, our four protagonists seem to be invincible. Their AIR BAG makes them appear taller, broader and more powerful than they really are, and they have literally surpassed their own limitations. They are safeguarded against any physical or emotional impact. Their extraordinary skills could almost be mistaken for those of super heroes….But what is hidden behind these dazzling cushions of air? Isn’t there a vulnerable centre inside every shell?
„AIR BAG – ready to burst“ examines the increasing  demands made on young people growing up and the fears that accompany this period in life. At the same time our performers tell the stories of their own personal AIR BAGS, how they were formed and how they developed.

Choreographer, Eva Borrmann, and her team  of four dancers explore how fear can be defied by imagination. Perhaps fear and imagination are mutually dependant, just as the children’s book author, Erich Kästner,  conjectured when he wrote: „If someone possesses no fear then he possesses no imagination.“

An stage production for children 8+.

This production was also produced as an interactive film due to the COVID-19 pandemic
