Renacimiento
It is the technicians who build a new world for us night after night in the theatre. They hang things, light the space, screw and hammer. And when the audience has gone home and the actors are sitting in the pub with their make-up off, they take the whole thing down again and get everything ready for the next stop on the tour. It's no coincidence that the Spanish group La tristura dedicated a production entirely to the people behind the scenes during the pandemic, because they too were severely affected by the cultural lockdown but were far less present in discussions than the artistic staff. In «Renacimiento», the everyday stories of the stage workers about insecurities, communication and power intersect with the development of the last 50 years of the young democracy in Spain. Both here and there, there is a lot of idealism at play. And again and again, the question arises of where the individual stands when it comes to the principles of a group.
There will be a audience discussion following the performance on 12.5.
The collective La tristura has been working on an unique aesthetic between theatre poetry and documentary text for over ten years. «Renacimiento» premiered in autumn 2020 between two lockdowns. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the planned performance at auawirleben in 2021 due to the uncertain situation. We are all the happier to make up for it this year.
La tristura are also part of the «Bring a Friend» format and nominated the Spanish duo María Salgado and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca.
For people with vision disabilities
An audio description is available on 13.5. In addition to the description of the visual elements, the German surtitles will be read aloud. You can get the headphones at the box office.
The foyer of Dampfzentrale is equipped with tactile ground surface indicators. If you attend a performance with an assistance dog, you can of course take it with you into the theatre hall. Or the dog can wait in an adjacent room during the performance. If you wish to do this, please contact us in advance at silja.gruner@auawirleben.ch.
For people with mobility disabilities
Dampfzentrale is wheelchair accessible. There are stair lifts to the foyer, the Turbinensaal and the toilets. The staff will be happy to help you operate the lifts. The theatre has a barrier-free toilet. If you are coming with a wheelchair, please contact us in advance so that we can reserve an appropriate seat for you: silja.gruner@auawirleben.ch
Surtitles
The text spoken in Spanish is subtitled in German and English. The surtitles do not contain any additional information about sounds and music. However, the performance is comprehensible without sound.
Special Check-In
We offer the possibility of a Special Check-In. If for any reason you would like to avoid the crowded foyer, have trouble getting into the hall with the crowd, need a special seat or require assistance due to a mobility restriction, please contact us in advance (silja.gruner@auawirleben.ch). Someone from the team will accompany you according to your needs.
Social Story

In our Social Stories you will find a description for each performance, what situation to expect at the venue and what customs apply there.
