Snow

»Do you remember the first snowfall in a late autumn or winter of your childhood? It was like the irruption of another reality. Something timid, rare, coming to visit us, descending and transforming the world around us, without our doing, as an unexpected gift.« (Hartmut Rosa)

Snow. That's just a word. But snow, like hardly any other substance, is charged with the memory magic of childhood, and the physical insight that it is merely water therefore initially has little significance. This changeable, meteorological phenomenon, this shy, powerful, romanticizing, enchanting, pacifying, unpredictable and killing event becomes the starting point of a search by the young players for their own poetic approach. How does one remember the first impressive experience with this water frozen into crystals? Snow is a natural phenomenon that envelops and pacifies us. But it can also be a force of nature that destroys what it covers. For many, it becomes an annual sporting challenge. And yet, as climate change progresses, we don't know whether it will still snow in winter in the future. Or in spring, in summer, or never again?

This musically choreographed evening weaves together half-forgotten memories of the ensemble, events beyond their control, and their attempts to hold on to something in an accelerating world.
