Past dates

The music theatre collective [in]operabilities immerses itself in Virginia Woolf’s flow of language and revolves around a central scene from her novel THE WAVES: a reunion of friends in a London pub. With playfulness and melancholy, the interdisciplinary ensemble transforms THE WAVES into a multi-sensory musical theatre of words and gestures, sound, vibrations, touch and light. Six performers reveal themselves in rhythmically interwoven solos, and with them different generations, lifeworlds and styles of perception.

HEY LISTEN - Audio Description Special: In autumn 2024, four Hamburg groups will present works with artistic and integrated audio description. Kampnagel invites blind and visually impaired audiences to the shows, talks and the opening on Wed 23 Oct. The post-performance talk for THE WAVES is at Sat-23.11.

A pick-up and escort service from the nearby bus and train stations can be requested up to 7 days in advance for this performance barrierefreiheit@kampnagel.de or by voice message to 01796714489.

A person is lying backwards on a stage in a dynamic pose. One arm is raised high, the legs are stretched out and the posture is expressive and perhaps somewhat desperate or combative, as if they have fallen.
