Amy4eva - from young people for young people
The young ensemble at the Rüsselsheim Theater becomes of legal age and gives itself a special staging of the youth play "Amy4eva - of the impossibility of
rock'n'roll in areas as Jerichow and so" for his 18th birthday. After weeks of rehearsals, the young talents with passion show their skills in an exciting fusion of classic spectacle and figure theater.
Laucke's “Amy4eva” is shown under the direction of Richard Weber, who led the ensemble in 2016 and is known as an actor, teacher and former head of the Mainz eV drama school. A young, fresh piece, originally an order work for the Darmstadt State Theater, which is most likely comparable to a road movie. Two teenagers go to London on a pilgrimage to Amy Winehouse 'grave to commemorate their shared, deceased friend Effe. Laucke, multi -award -winning playwright, studied scenic writing at the University of the Arts of Berlin and wrote numerous plays that are played at various stages all over Germany.
In an interview with Richard Weber, director of the 18th edition of the theater pedagogical project, he describes the spectacle as follows:
“For me, the central themes of the piece concern life itself: how deep is life and the search for fulfillment? What is the meaning of life? With all the adversities, with the deep wish of young people, their own place to find their own task in this world. In "Amy4eva" we watch two young women who are looking for all of this and experience things that are not easy to cope with, yes, basically traumatic experiences. "In conversation with the ensemble and the assistant, the profound theme quickly becomes clear Pieces also moved and sensitized in the ensemble:
“We quickly became aware that we would all go into the mourning process of Eva and Amy for a bit, even if we did not necessarily have to cope with explicit suicide personally. We were all confronted with grief and loss at some point in our lives in a variety of ways and this was felt directly and directly in the rehearsals for the crucial scenes. Therefore, it was important to us in the program and in public relations without adoption, ”said Lucia Gauss, director and player.
“But you still don't have to be afraid that this theater evening will only keep mourning and loss in mind, on the contrary! There are countless funny and easy moments, so you will rather become part of a roller coaster ride, ”says Luna Frankenberg, member of the seven -member ensemble.
What is special about this year's production is the fusion of classic spectacle and puppet theater. Together with the renowned puppetizer Hendika de Kramer, a staging was created under Richard Weber that knows how to present the late friend Effe in a very aesthetic and sensitive way: as a child's puppet, which always appears in memory sequences and emotional moments and solely through his Presence of consolation. "For me that was one of the most impressive phases in the rehearsal process", the player Kiron Westphal describes: "At the beginning, we all had no experience with puppet show at all, but through Hendrika's contagious and energetic way and their totally facing work with us, the game became the game With Effe quickly to the absolute favorite moment in the intensive phase at the beginning of the year. Effe has become an equal player over the course of the weeks. ”
Weber's director's concept is similar to the working methods of its predecessors: “The most important thing for projects with young people is for me that the ideas of aesthetics, topics and ideas come from themselves and that we create and experience something together. It is very important to me to see and use their interpretation of the action. ”A piece of young people for young people, which celebrates its premiere on February 11th at 8:00 p.m. in the Große Haus in the Rüsselsheim Theater.
