De Muur Rondom Shirley - Schwung (try-out) ^try-out

Are you that career tiger with a glorious curriculum vitae? Don't you belong to a generation of posers? Do you want one of those hot plastic pens with a company name on it? Then we are looking for you!

The extremely ambitious Shirley is about to get her PhD. She wants nothing more than a top position, so that the colleagues she looks up to can see her again. But ready for her career upgrade, she suddenly wakes up on an empty, endless lawn. She doesn't know how she got here, but she does feel the pressure from her employer who is waiting impatiently for her somewhere.

In the grass, the ambitious Shirley meets a group of very striking colleagues with whom she always ends up in stressful scenarios. This leads to heated discussions about the struggles and deadlines that Shirley often has to deal with. The faster she wants to run, the faster Shirley is stopped.

A night walk full of symbolic chatter, absurd musical burnouts and poor self-insights.

About Schwung

Schwung (2022) is a fairly unique maker's movement consisting of a wide range of disciplines: theater, mime, performance, direction, design and philosophy. Eight young theater makers are looking for ways to give a voice to the human environment. The young makers work with fresh open-mindedness on absurd, ironic and musical performances in which the actor plays a symbolic role. Together they are on their way to a hopeful reality with balance between the actor and the set.
