Pazifinista // Cactus Junges Theater

In the organizer's words:

PAZIFINISTA // Cactus Young Theater

Creating peace without weapons? Sounds good. But how does that work in a time of wars and conflicts? In PAZIFINISTA, a group of young people come together. Their everyday lives are characterized by news of catastrophes, silent violence and a feeling of powerlessness. Some are affected, others are overwhelmed. But they all feel that things can't go on like this. Together they ask themselves the question: What could a world without violence look like? And: Can such a world be realized without becoming violent ourselves? Between martial arts, chaotic tennis ball choreographies and quiet moments, a collage of reality and utopia is created. Philosophical, playful, critical and emotional. Sometimes angry, sometimes tender. Cactus Junges Theater presents a play about fighting - and the lack of fighting.
