Drei Performer*innen in bunter Patchwork-Kleidung sitzen auf einem pinken Bühnenboden im Kreis. Sie lachen sich gegenseitig an und bilden mit der linken Hand eine Faust und die rechte Hand halten sie flach über ihren Kopf gehoben.
Drei Performer*innen in bunter Sportkleidung befinden sich in einem engen Kreis zueinander, sie springen hoch und winkeln dabei ein Bein an. Alle tragen pinke Pompons und strecken sie in die Höhe.
Zwei Performer*innen befinden sich auf einer dunklen Bühne. Das einzige Licht geht von einer regenbogenfarbenen Spielzeugspirale aus, die beide Performer*innen gemeinsam halten. Durch das auf die Spirale fallende Licht entsteht ein spiralförmiger Schatten auf dem Bühnenboden. Ebenso ist Klebeband auf dem Bühnenboden, das im Dunkeln leuchtet.

Wild and soft, spherical and angular, shimmering and fluid, solid and fluttering, heavy and floating – three performers play with objects and bodies, dancing and drumming, stomping and jumping, tapping and sounding. Geli Strahl, a performer with hearing difficulty, the dancer Moonjoo Kim and the percussionist Rie Watanabe explore rhythms, vibrations and oscillations that flow through the body and invite the audience to participate with all their senses –completely without language. A discovery tour through sound waves, body waves and wow moments for a deaf and hearing audience - calm and fast-paced, clear and chaotic, precise and haphazard, humorous, quirky, playful, crazy – BÄÄÄM.

Barbara Fuchs founded the tanzfuchs PRODUKTION label in Cologne in 2003. Since then, she and composer Jörg Ritzenhoff have been exploring new artistic spaces at the intersections of acoustics and dance. The first piece for children up to the age of two was realised by Barbara Fuchs as part of take-off: Junger Tanz in 2009. Therefore, Barbara Fuchs is among the pioneers in dance art for the very youngest audience in Germany. 19 pieces for a young and intergenerational audience were produced by Barbara Fuchs and Jörg Ritzenhoff under the tanzfuchs PRODUKTION label as well as during guest choreographies. Tours brought the company to places all over Germany, to 14 European countries, and to Japan.

tanzfuchs PRODUKTION won multiple nominations and awards.

The first dance production with integrated audio description was created in 2021. With BÄÄÄM (former working title KRACH?!), the artistic team around Barbara Fuchs continuous the artistic exploration of “hearing”.

From age 4. For deaf and hearing audiences.
