In the organizer's words:

Stories full of life and magic, death and happiness, love and chaos, ghosts and people and animals.

My daughter calls me Baba. Just like I called my father. He was not always an easy man. Very intense and often challenging. Growing up in a small town on the edge of the desert, on the edge of the savannah, where there were only a handful of telephones but a movie theater...

We had sweet tea with milk on Sunday afternoons and the TV, which was always blaring, was turned down. We siblings braided pigtails, squatted close together like a bunch of young baboons and my father told stories. Actually, he made them up. He was a great storyteller, his words seemed to float wildly and impetuously on a river, yet always found a destination. Baba often fished in the now, in what we called out to him, linking the world we knew growing up in Europe with the treasures of our East African ancestors. And even though we seemed so far apart in many ways, his stories brought the worlds closer together. Stories full of life and magic, death and happiness, love and chaos, spirits and people and animals. BABAS TALES searches for this storytelling on stage.

Price information:

We have a solidarity pricing model that allows you to support each other. There are three different tickets: The regular ticket is for you if you can pay your living costs without any problems. If you also donate a solidarity ticket, someone else can buy a very affordable solidarity ticket. The reduced-price ticket is for you if you need to take a closer look at your bank balance - regardless of your official income situation. We don't ask for proof. The solidarity ticket is for you if you're short of money and can't afford the discounted ticket. Please support us with this system by buying regular tickets and co-financing solidarity tickets if you can. We also give tickets to the Kulturloge Dresden from time to time. This is an association that provides these tickets to people on low incomes. If you have a severely disabled pass with the "B" mark, you can bring a companion with you. They will not have to pay admission. However, please register them when you buy your ticket so that we can keep track of the available seats.
