> FIGHT FOR YOUR FAI RYTALE

Fight for your fairytale is the go plastic company’s new project, which is being realized as a pop-up piece for young audiences as part of explore dance. It is dedicated to the figure of the witch, her changing image, her rich history and far-reaching impact. The focus is on dealing with one’s own and other people’s powers as an identity-forming process, with self-determination and heteronomy. It is a multidisciplinary play that enchants and perhaps heals.

The play contains German language in writing and sound and was created in cooperation with the Gymnasium Klotzsche. The production is suitable for everyone aged 12 and over.

Duration: approx. 40 minutes
Language: German in script and sound

>> ASPHALT LABS

We were proud to invite you to several editions of our ASPHALT LAB format in the second half of the year 2024. During the labs we tried out various instructions with the help of our ASPHALTWELTEN APP, which connected us and you with ourself, other people, our body and our environment. Riverbanks became your stage, sidewalks turned into our playground and parks became our individual creative laboratory.

During the labs, we dedicated ourselves to various prompts that moved us through the public space in and around the venues where the labs took place.

> ASPHALT WELTEN APP

COME OUT AND PLAY. THE CITY IS YOURS.

What do skyscrapers and cloud formations have in common? Quite simply: what you make of them by yourself. And the ASPHALTWELTEN app opens up just that in lots of playful challenges: new urban worlds in a very private and interactive focus.

Fountains become your stage, walkways your playground and parks turn into your individual creative laboratory.

With your smartphone and the ASPHALTWELTEN app, you can discover how much playground there is in your surroundings and how much creativity you have inside of yourself. Experience how your view of your city changes when you spend time in and with it intensively and without distraction. Let yourself be challenged again and again. Every day.

How the app works

The ASPHALTWELTEN app invites you once a day to a small challenge in public space. By using video, photo, text or speech, you are called to complete a task and document it with one of the tools offered within the app. You don’t need any previous knowledge or skills for this. A smartphone, a lot of curiosity and a little creativity are all you need.

More about the ASPHALTWELTEN app can be found here.

The ASPHALTWELTEN app is free of charge, was released on July 5, 2023 and is available at Google Play Store and in the Mac App Store.
