Things are tense at Hansel and Gretel's house: Dad has lost his job, their bank account is as empty as the fridge, and a family vacation is out of the question… Over something trivial, their father snaps and throws his children out of the apartment. Although he immediately regrets his outburst, Hansel and Gretel are now on their own. An adventurous journey through the urban jungle begins for them. Along the way, the two encounter strange characters, dangerous temptations, and new challenges. They can't find their way home and eventually end up in a truly devilish witch's house. A suspiciously friendly couple lives there, completely devoted to the ideal of eternal youth and beauty. But behind the shining facade lurks a dark secret: The couple has nothing good in mind for children…

Witch's Wood

Berliner Platz

How can we live together?"

Shouldn't the oceans also have a voice in a parliament that thinks about the future? And the forests? And, taking this idea further, shouldn't gender equality also be represented in this parliament? The Parliament of Things is a project for the democratic participation of young people, based on the ideas of the French sociologist Bruno Latour. As a theatrical parliament in which scientists, activists, and actors make the decision-making processes of a democratic society tangible, it aims to spark curiosity about the upcoming transformations that the future demands of us as a society. Young people and young adults are invited to hear the voices of the forests and wetlands in the six sessions of the Parliament of Things and to vote on complex issues.
