Schwalbe

Schwalbe spielt falsch

Language no problem

  • Performance

What happens when someone pushes us into a corner? Or when we sense that the other is weaker? How much survival instinct do we have inside us? The Theaterkollektiv Schwalbe sets a logic of escalation in motion. What starts as a harmless children’s game ends up as an unrelenting duel, in which the bodies are pushed to their outer limits. The evening is a collaboration with the author and director Tim Etchells.

Co-production: Productiehuis Rotterdam (Rotterdamse Schouwburg), OMSK, Baltoscandal, NXTSTP – Culture Programme of the European Union. Supported by SNS REAAL Fonds and Prince Bernhard Cultuurfonds. Performance funding from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
