The Whale, the Forest

In "Der Wal, der Wald", Glitch AG dives into a walk-in underwater world together with children aged 6 and up. There we meet young Weddell seals, who can dive for up to an hour without breathing. A large blue cloth becomes the sea, where people play, listen, sing and marvel.

Clarinet, guitar, saxophone, voice and percussion bring stormy waves and calm seas to life. The performance tells of courage and connection and asks what we can learn from marine mammals about living together and living with nature.

Marine mammals have to breathe like us and once lived on land, until webbing grew between their fingers and toes.
