Germany Premier!

How do managers behave? Three dancers and two Chinese acrobats will whirl around the stage, climb, slide and balance on poles or each other – the thresholds between people and embellishment become blurred: Are we watching a heated discussions between managers or a fight between monkeys? And what is actually concealed behind the irresistible desire for power?
 
Pia Meuthen and her artistic team were inspired by the background of the recent financial crisis, the analysis of behavior of leading men and the work of the world-famous primatologist Frans de Waal. The composer duo Strijbos & Van Pijswijk also wrote a new composition for the piece, which will be sung live by soprano Linde Schinkel.
