DOROTHEA
Solo Dance Performance, 60'
2025
The solo dance performance Dorothea follows the life cycle of a
peculiar creature, part human, part bubble wrap. From the clumsy
stage of a larva in its cocoon, the performance embarks on a journey
of metamorphosis. Exploring human coping strategies for fragile
states, Dorothea gets entangled in these struggles, dances with
them, wrestles, drags them along, and tries to break free by
embracing transformation and the fluidity of identity. What lies
behind the need to wrap up fragility? Could it be seen as a gift,
creating curiosity and excitement to unwrap it?
Dorothea is a Relaxed Performance.

Informationen zur Barrierefreiheit im Kulturhaus Helferei:
Unsere Foyers und Räume sind dank eines Liftes barrierefrei. Leider gilt das aufgrund eines vorhandenen Treppenlaufs (und architektonischer Gegebenheiten) nicht für die Zwingli-Stube und das Anna-Reinhart-Zimmer im 2. Obergeschoss. Beachten Sie bitte, dass die Kirchgasse steil und mit Kopfstein gepflastert ist. Keine automatische Eingangstüre (Schwelle 3 cm). Bei Bedarf melden Sie sich gerne im Betriebsbüro und wir leisten für den Zutritt in die Helferei die nötige Hilfestellung.
Wheelchair access for Theater am Gleis: With the help of a lift located about 10 meters from the entrance, the stairs can be overcome. Please contact us beforehand if you will need the lift, we are happy to assist you. There is space for several wheelchairs at the front of the stage, we are happy to reserve a seat in the front row for you. There is a wheelchair-accessible restroom at Theater am Gleis.
