An evening between height of fall and departure: Redshift in Braunschweig

With Redshift — Tales of gaining power, a dance and object theater performance will come to the Theater in der Kaffeetwete on July 24, 2026, setting body, power, and perception into an intense dialogue. The tilted collective condenses euphoria and fear, lightness and heaviness into a stage experience of great physical presence.

When the body becomes a resonance space

The staging does not follow a comfortable narrative path but a dramaturgical movement of friction, superimposition, and transformation. Alba Scharnhorst and Selina Glockner open a space where female* power does not appear as a buzzword but as a fragile, brutal, seeking force. The result is a precise interplay of choreography, objects, and performance that densifies the theater atmosphere and pulls the audience directly into the action.

Object theater with emotional impact

Particularly appealing is the approach of object theater: things here are not merely props but co-players of a poetic experimental setup. With light scenery, costume design, and sound design, a sound and image world is created that reflects social utopias as well as personal longings. Those who love contemporary dance will find a clever, visually strong, and sensual format between theater art and performative research.

A compact evening with a lasting effect

The performance lasts about 45 minutes and is recommended for ages 16 and up. This concentration gives the evening its tension: no long rolling out, but a dense sequence of movement images, impulses, and resistances. The audience reaction is likely to be characterized by that silence which only strong productions evoke before they continue to resonate in a long echo.

Conclusion

Redshift — Tales of gaining power promises an intense, cleverly composed stage experience for all who seek theater as a physical and intellectual experience. Those who appreciate dance, object theater, and artistic precision should experience this evening live.
