Comments - Happy to be together

Quiet moments and turbulent scenes

.... And of course also those of the small (and large) viewers. They are not bored for a second in the hour-long play "Being Happy Together".

Maike Jansen and Stefan Ferencz offer pantomime at its best as "Pohyb's and Co."stem level.

Of course with all the ingredients that belong to clown theater:

The yellow envelope keeps disappearing just before Tat'a gets hold of it. The clown woman gets very upset

so that you can look forward to it again when the envelope appears again. Cheering, disappointment, anger, sadness and astonishment: Emotions change in a very short time. The children give tips to the clowns, they are fully involved.

They recognize the gestures and facial expressions effortlessly and can understand the feelings. Just like the story of the departure to "paradise" and the obstacles that have to be overcome before they can travel together. Turbulent scenes arise from quiet moments, for example when the clown Tat'o appears and the two fight for the best place on the platform. Tat'a kicks the suitcase away as soon as the clown wants to sit on it, and the children laugh dizzily. But the slapstick scenes never tip over, it never gets too slapstick-like 'o with impress and in the truest sense of the word "thick trousers" marched up and down. She takes a moment to imitate him and notices:

That works for her too. They mimic each other until they accidentally end up in the same rhythm. The clowns fascinate with their body language and facial expressions.

They largely do without props and manage the balancing act between poetry and slapstick.

Lucky to be there...


When moments become eternity full of wonder - when the silence grows loud and the noise quiet - when laughter weeps and



crying smiles, then we think we are a little bit closer to paradise...
