FRISCH gefragt!

On stage, a collage emerges of text, movement, video, sound and visuals – and of big questions that deliberately remain open.

What do our answers reveal about us – and what about our questions? With his famous questionnaire, Max Frisch created a literary experiment that continues to resonate today: instead of certainties, it offers moments of disruption; instead of solutions, new perspectives on identity, responsibility and the self.

This is precisely where FRISCH gefragt! begins – the inclusive theatre project of the youth club at the RambaZamba Theatre. At its core is a collaboratively devised piece involving young people with and without disabilities, alongside two older women – an intergenerational dialogue that brings different life experiences and perspectives into exchange.

Frisch’s questions are only the starting point. The young participants take them up, twist them, challenge them – and develop their own questions, rooted in their lives, their doubts, dreams and contradictions. In this way, the questionnaire becomes a springboard for a creative process that connects personal and artistic forms of expression.

On stage, this results in a multi-layered collage of text, movement and multimedia elements such as video, sound and visuals. It explores big questions: would you like to be immortal? What is your greatest dream? Are you a friend to yourself? And also those questions that deliberately remain open.
