With the Hamburg theater group Die AZUBIS he feels most at home in classrooms, cemeteries, Gucci, the neighborhood or in bunkers and fills them with a lot of trash and poetry. Computer - and board games are not his thing, nevertheless or just because of that he has already realized two game - theater projects with the boat people projekt. He has two daughters and likes Bud Spencer movies.

...loves the smell and taste of coffee and vanilla, reads too much newspaper and too little in books, wishes it was the other way around. Hobbies: watching movies, shopping. Loves the word boutique, but can't stand boutiques, nor namedropping, nor pseudo stuff. Tries to become a better person every day and greets the groundhog every day. Tries not to be corrupted, but therefore cannot pursue her second hobby satisfactorily. Motto: let it be.

...plays theater, loves the interactions and processes in workshops, loves to dance and often hums to herself. Languages and (related) food fascinate her.
 

...dances and makes dances as much as he can. Plays too many video games and wants to read more. Loses focus and interrupts frequently when others are speaking, but will always notice when you've had a haircut.
 

 

... coordinates, communicates, organizes, writes, reads, pushes back and forth, scurries from A to B. Believes very firmly in human reason and a little bit that everything will somehow fall into place.

 

 

 

...born in Damascus, studied acting at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media
writes, directs, plays but above all tries to think. Was always interested in German sayings but the saying "through mistakes you learn" is his favorite.

...got lost in the southernmost tip of German-speaking climes in the theater. Likes spicy Asian food and deconstruction. Thinks the moon is a video projection screen. Is on the hunt for the babble fish. Tries to master the 4th dimension with childlike desperation.

 

…pendelt zwischen Göttingen und Stockholm und fragt sich inzwischen manchmal, ob er gerade auf der Hin- oder auf der Rückreise ist. Ansonsten schreibt er Musik und passt sie in eigene Theaterproduktionen ein. Wahlweise auch umgekehrt.

 

 

... plays all instruments she can get her hands on - but preferably violin and piano. Likes to sing often on the Göttingen stages, writes poems, songs and short stories. Studied musicology, philosophy and German philology and brings her creativity to the boat people project since 2019.

... works at the intersection of knowledge and cultural production - as a cultural anthropologist, filmmaker, editor. Sometimes misses the mountains, but continues to live in Berlin. And Brandenburg, since recently. Because it's nicest somewhere else.

 

 

... came across the boat people project for the first time in 2021, stuck to the production title and just stayed. Since then she has been more on the road in front of the stage than backstage, spent a winter in the backend and now looks forward to making the WERKRAUM unsafe every Friday with the Theater-Kinderclub.

 

 

... was born in Damascus, likes to read the news before sleeping. Steals avocados and will do so forever. Gets goose bumps when he sees Picasso's Guernica - even if it's on a postcard. As a stage designer, sees the theater as a sketch that wants to be a drawing.
