ALICE im Wunderl@nd

Inspired by the classic Alice in Wonderland, the people in the mixed-age theatre group set out in search of themselves and their place in society. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenges of the digital world and the impact of social media platforms on young people’s identity formation, as well as the vulnerability of democratic values. Through encounters with various influencers, Alice loses herself in a digital rabbit hole. In Wonderland, these influencers become bizarre figures who invite her to explore new perspectives and ways of life, overcome crises, take a political stance and gain insight – always guided by the questions:

Who am I? How should I / how do I want to be? How may I be in a pluralistic and diverse society? In what kind of world do I want to live, and by which rules?

Attempts to navigate life amid constant influence and engagement with content from TikTok, Instagram and the like, in the midst of adolescence, are at the heart of the piece. The questions and concerns of young people in a time of multiple crises and the uncertainties of growing up are explored and developed through theatrical and musical means.

Songs specially written for the production by the band BanJo help to tell the story. They offer moments for reflection and create a distinctive Wonderland atmosphere.
