Twenty Minutes Skoronel Reloaded & Theater Thikwa
Twenty minutes is the time you wait in a doctor’s office, at a bus stop, or in a restaurant.
Some wars last less than twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes is seven rounds in the boxing ring.
Sex lasts twenty minutes on average
... and so does a trip to the supermarket.
It takes twenty minutes for the police to arrive.
We tell the story of how little it takes for our lives to change, stagnate, or become happy. In twenty-minute intervals – which do not adhere to real time – we recount moments without which we would not understand ourselves. The voices of objects also have their say. A stuffed monkey, three black stones, a block to do handstand tricks on, a cigarillo that is not lit, or the key to a new apartment all have something to contribute. The objects take us by the hand. Thus we chase after what defines us and fish for it in the dark of the untold. There are many of us: Elise, Hanna, Hilarius, Tim, Torsten, André, as well as Frank, Sabina, Estrella, and Judith. On a stage of seven by seven meters, we try to make something small into something big.
There are many wars and conflicts in the world.
So we ask:
How can people argue in a good way?
An argument should help in the end.
It should not destroy things.
This is what this theatre performance is about.
These people made the performance together:
- the group SKART from Hamburg
- the dancer Dasniya Sommer from Berlin
- the actors from Theater Thikwa
On stage, they show that anger and arguments can also be good.
They show different ways of arguing.
They use their bodies to do this.
Sometimes it looks like ballet.
Sometimes they show bodies that are tied up.
There is also loud and wild music.
The music is made by Brezel Göring and the musicians from Theater Thikwa.
While the music is playing, the people on stage ask:
How do we argue in the right way?
There are many different answers.
So they argue about it.
