Young RambaZamba & Schaubühne

HOW WE BECOME

A production by the youth clubs of Rambazamba Theater and Schaubühne

This season, the youth club of Junges RambaZamba Theater collaborates with Schaubühne and explores the question: Who am I, and what spaces do I need in order to live my identity freely?

Youth is an exciting time. Who am I — and how do I want to live? What spaces do I need in order to be myself? To freely develop and shape my identity? Especially for young queer people and people with disabilities, these are essential questions in a world where their rights and freedoms are often challenged. That is why it is so important for young voices to be heard — loudly, courageously, and clearly.

The queer theatre project HOW WE BECOME addresses these themes. What moves teenagers and young adults — with and without disabilities — who identify as part of the queer spectrum? Together with the participants, theatre educators Lara Michel (Schaubühne) and Lillian Bocksch (Rambazamba Theater) search for answers and bring the perspectives of the performers into focus: What matters to them? What wishes and hopes do they have for the future? What do they want to change, demand, and shape themselves?
