Narrated by the charming vampire Miss Sarah, you will learn how a boy and the little vampire meet and become friends; what exciting stories they experience together, which fortunately are indeed very exciting, but not frightening. The Vampire Miss Sarah flies directly from Transylvania, in order to kidnap you for an hour for a thrilling journey full of fascinating surprises.

Narrator: Sarah Hervè
Producer/Coordinator/Decorator: Andrea Lippold

Erzählt von dem bezaubernden Vampirfräulein Sarah werdet Ihr erfahren, wie ein Junge und der kleine Vampir sich begegnen und Freunde werden; welche aufregenden Geschichten sie gemeinsam erleben, die glücklicherweise zwar sehr spannend, aber gar nicht so gruselig sind. Das Vampirfräulein Sarah fliegt direkt aus Transsylvanien ein, um euch für eine Stunde zu entführen auf eine packende Reise voller faszinierender Überraschungen.

Seminar

Two white performers Laura Werres and André Vollrath in a dialogue with
Christian M. Jolibois about "blanc: who_knows/white"*

In December 2013, the performance collective, meet MIMOSA presented "blanc2: I know/white and blanc: who_knows/white" for the first time. The play reflects the "critical examination of whiteness" within a German context. The two performers offer insights into a shattering process of transformation for people who are becoming aware of their privilege. The threesome dialogue is dedicated to the exchange of personal impressions, experiences and thoughts throughout the play.

*The German word "weiß" is either "white" or "knows".

Die beiden weißen Performer Laura Werres und André Vollrath im Gespräch mit Christian M. Jolibois über "blank: wer_weiß"

Das Performance-Kollektiv meet MIMOSA führte im Dezember 2013 erstmals das Stück "blank2: ich weiß und blank: wer_weiß?" auf, das die "kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Weißsein" innerhalb eines deutschen Kontextes reflektiert. Die beiden Darsteller gewähren darin Einblicke in den erschütternden Transformationsprozess von Menschen, die sich ihrer Privilegien bewusst werden. Das Gespräch zu dritt widmet sich dem Austausch über die persönlichen Eindrücke, Erfahrungen und Gedanken mit dem Stück.
