With GUGUS!, the Company Rebecca Weingartner completes the trilogy of dance pieces for a young audience, following EQUALITY! and SOLIDARITY!. While the previous productions focused on discrimination-free coexistence between genders and people with diverse migration backgrounds, this final piece dances out of line with a unique interpretation of the concept of freedom.
​​
"GUGUS!", a Swiss German term meaning both "hello" and "nonsense," explores themes of freedom, liberation from societal pressures to perform, and the joy of embracing playfulness and absurdity. Drawing inspiration from the Dada movement—a 20th-century artistic rebellion against logic, reason, and capitalist values—the performance will showcase two circus artists in extravagant costumes. They will take flight, defying gravity, morph into fantastical beings, and transcend the mundane rules of growth and self-improvement.
​
Aimed at young audiences, this trilogy explores ‘equality, solidarity, and freedom’ in today’s world, urging resistance to societal brutality and support for democracy. It sparks reflection and action through playful humor, dance, acrobatics, music, and audience interaction, making complex ideas engaging and thought-provoking.
