KANDINSKY vs. KLEE

In the organizer's words:

Watching was yesterday. Today, the audience decides what happens!

Inspired by the friendship and rivalry between Bauhaus masters Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, the LICHTHOF Theater, directed by Hamburg theatre-maker Franz von Strolchen, stages theater as a live painting show between art, play and social experiment. Even before the performance begins, the audience is divided into two camps, according to their aesthetic feelings: the Kandinskys and the Klees - they each paint a picture within their group, in a ludicrous arrangement that encourages creativity, but also rebellion, empathy and personal attitude.

Two moderators lead through the evening, repeatedly raising questions, giving impulses and telling the story of a friendship with a lot of absurd humor. At the same time, they leave room for doubt, discussion and unexpected twists and turns.

KANDINSKY vs. KLEE is theater as a social space: an evening about lines and boundaries, about belonging and isolation - and about what it takes to take an interest in each other and make friends. Or not. Every performance is different. In the end, two images remain. And the question: what do they say about us?

No previous knowledge or artistic skills are necessary. Just curiosity!
