Zer-Brech-Lich

We all know the sound of things breaking. But what does it sound like when something is saved from breaking? Three performers with disabilities explore their own and others’ identities, try on sounds like outfits – and go in search of the pop moment.

“What exactly is this pop moment? The moment when you suddenly shine and radiate for the duration of an empowering song. Choreographer Alessandro Schiattarella and his team have placed these moments at the center of ZER-BRECH-LICH, because disability is often portrayed as a deficiency, a crisis, or fate. Not so here: Alice, Laila, and Victoria take the stage and are not only themselves, but everything else they want to be. Identity thus becomes a feather-light game. We are delighted that, after numerous guest performances, the play will now also take the JOiN stage by storm. Don’t miss it!“
