Between Falling and Flying: maybe_rain_ invites to a dynamic suspension

A body loses the ground, a beat sets in, light breaks through the space: In in_the_suspension, the collective maybe_rain_ transforms the stage of tanzhaus nrw into a pulsating experiential space. The participatory production for children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 revolves around letting go, belonging, and the question of when community provides support.

A stage as a social experiential space

The dramaturgy moves between control and surrender, between the desire for freedom and the need for stability. Conflict, expectations, and pressure meet friendship, lightness, and the courage to engage with a group. The audience experiences an immersive performance that perceives the stage space not as a distant backdrop, but as an immediate place of shared perception.

Beats, light, and movement

Club and concert aesthetics shape the staging. Beats, lighting moods, projections, and choreographic movement merge into a sensual theater atmosphere. The acoustics provide a pulse for the bodies, while the set design creates the impression of a fleeting in-between space: Everything seems to be in motion, nothing remains permanently fixed.

Young perspectives at the center

At the heart of the artistic process are young people. Together with maybe_rain_, they develop a stage art that makes their experiences and questions visible. The interdisciplinary team with Josep Caballero García for choreography, Kamila Kurczewski for image and video, and Fabian Schulz for sound and music combines dance, theater, projection, and participatory performance.

Maybe_rain_ has been working with young people since 2021 and has already realized several projects at tanzhaus nrw, including Hey You! Now, Hey You! Next, and maybe_rain_we_meet_by_chance. The new production consistently continues this artistic collaboration and translates youthful perspectives into a physically immediate form.

A stage experience about trust and community

in_the_suspension makes it palpable: Letting go is not a solitary act. The performance invites you to give up familiar securities for a moment and to perceive your own body, the group, and the rhythm of events anew. The audience remains in the midst of the stage action without needing to intervene actively.

Conclusion: In the Grand Hall of tanzhaus nrw, visitors can expect an intense stage experience of dance, sound, light, and projection. Those who want to experience contemporary theater forms, youth culture, and participatory stage art directly will find in in_the_suspension an impressive evening between falling and flying.
