A “Tarte au Chocolat” is round, chocolaty and good. But what happens if the egg doesn’t turn out the way the chef wants it, the dough falls apart, the ingredients disappear and the sugar is acting up? Two chefs looking for the right recipe in a tandem bake-off, deliver a thoroughly funny slapstick piece.
The neat-freak clown Jean-Paul, who has been active in the wide world of the circus (Roncalli, Tigerpalast, etc.) for years, meets his charming nephew Erwin, who has already been successful on stage in numerous local productions.
Starring: Erwin Slepcevic, Jean-Paul Ledun

Mareice Kaiser (Berlin) – “Alles inklusive” reading
Wednesday 15 November
7pm
60mins
free entry – please register at info@intakt-festival.at
“96 percent of all children are born healthy. My daughter is one of the other four percent.”
A book that takes you to an extraordinary everyday family life. Mareice Kaiser had a very different expectation of becoming a parent: her first daughter was born with a rare chromosomal defect and is severely disabled. They spent the puerperium in the hospital and instead of going to the crèche group, they went to the pediatrician.
Mareice Kaiser talks about the unpredictability of life, about day-to-day life between the hospital and day care centre, about unwarranted justifications, stupid comments, stereotypical role distributions, bureaucratic insanity and difficult questions of conscience.
It is the story of a young mother who wants to be more than just the caretaker for her disabled daughter. “I don’t want to live in a society where my child has to leave the nursery because it is too disabled. I don’t want to live in a society where I have to be thankful if someone cares for my child because I want to work. I don’t always want to have to depend on luck. How is anything supposed to change if no one is fighting?” Questions that concern us all.
“Alles inklusive” (‘All Inclusive’) is the first book by the Berlin author. An important, modern and militant contribution to the current debates on inclusion, prenatal diagnostics and the compatibility of family and work under particular conditions – and the declaration of love of a mother for her daughter.

A participatory staging for hearing impaired and hearing persons from 8 years old upwards
We want to build a story.
It is a story about all of us.
And it is the story of Leo.
Leo is shorter than most people, but taller than most people think.
We accompany Leo to one of his favourite places and find out what it means to perceive other people, when we are strangers and when we are alike. Together with the audience, BwieZack builds a story that is a bit different every time it is performed, depending on who is sitting in the audience.
Through the use of sign language, spoken language and a playful approach to surtitles, the production is accessible to people with varying degrees of listening skills.
Starring: Theresa Frey, Johanna Kraft, Petra Jeroma, Larissa Probst,
Team: Lukas Löffler, Nico Franke, Sinethemba Njotini, Anna Pristouschek

When does the unknown entice, when does it repel? Where does my biography begin and where is it leading me? What is mine and what is alien? Are we alike or different? A group of vastly different individuals sets out to explore new things while describing their experiences, putting them in context with that which they have already experienced, play it out and create an evening theatre with it. They group grows to know each other. They introduce themselves to the audience and simultaneously challenges their expectations. Using common theatre tools, they explore the dynamics of the self and the other, assert biographies, and toy with fiction and reality. The lines between the self and the other are playfully blurred, enabling a shift in perspective.
