NAIROBACH

UNTERWEGSTHEATER HEIDELBERG (2014)

NAIROBACH is the conclusion of the relationship between Unterwegstheater Heidelberg and its partners in Kenya‘s capital city, Nairobi. What started as a dance project for children in the slums led to a collaboration with the local professional dance scene. NAIROBACH is a get-together of different cultures, different dance styles and different personalities accompanied and brought together by the music of Bach.

These 60 thrilling and very diverse minutes made clear: the african-european dialogue doesn’t need many words, the common language of dance and music alone can be inspiring and uniting. The audience in the completely sold out Hebelhalle was swept away.
