We are delighted to once again welcome the NN Theatre from Cologne to this year's Scenario event. Thanks to the Filou cultural initiative, we are particularly proud to be able to stage a local production on two days.
Peer Gynt - The dream of the self
Peer is a farmer's son, young and playful. He detests work and deludes himself and others into believing a world that doesn't exist. Actually impoverished and lazy, he describes his home as a palace and his boredom as a great adventure. His life oscillates back and forth between desire and reality, between fantasy and fact. He creates stories, like stories for Instagram or TikTok today.
Being more than appearances" is increasingly becoming a problem, because more and more people are becoming entangled in its web of lies. Mischievous deeds become disgraceful, fiction becomes dangerous fake news. What is still real, what is a fantasy?
Peer gets lost in the realm of the trolls, becomes a slave trader, cheats and is cheated, hurries through deserts on other continents on the run from creditors and even ends up in a mental hospital. Or was that just a dream? Peer begins to ask himself: What kind of core is left after peeling the onion? Who am I, and if so, how many? Am I more than my story?
That only love counts in the end is perhaps the most beautiful realisation of this fast-paced ride through the stages of a turbulent life with a touch of nothingness.
The NN Theatre embarks on a refreshingly contemporary theatrical journey, exposing the colourful spinning of Peer Gynt.
The lively drama is supported by the Scenario project choir under the direction of Stefan Schoenefeldt.
Schnickschnack & Schnuck on the hunt for love
A (clown) theatre play for people aged 4 and over and adults who are young at heart.
"To Mr Schnuck. Find me! Dear ... " Schnickschnack was just about to write her name under the message when Schnuck walks in the door again. Mr Schnuck and his assistant Schnickschnack have just set up a detective agency and are eagerly awaiting their first case. The mysterious note with the even more mysterious message arrives just in time. For Mr Schnuck, the situation is clear: their first assignment is, of course, that their love has disappeared and must be found again! Thus begins a turbulent chase and a fantastic journey around the globe.
The two detectives in "Schnickschnack & Schnuck auf der Jagd nach der Liebe" (Schnickschnack & Schnuck on the hunt for love) have to be taken to heart, because author Jörg Isermeyer has created a virtuoso pair of opposites in the bewildered, patented Schnickschnack and the organised, helpless Mr Schnuck. In their conversations, one misunderstanding follows another and it is simply hilarious when Schnuck tries to explain and Schnickschnack is on the line.
The Beckum SCENARIO is presented with the kind support of:
