“Domande – Fragen” (“Questions”)
A comic-philosophical concert with the Teatro Dimitri
A co-production with the Teatro Dimitri
for ages 8 and up
Where does the world come from? How is it that I am alive? What is time? Children ask the truly radical questions. Questions that we as adults often put aside – maybe because they frighten us, because we do not know the answers and the view stretches into the unfathomable. “The only thing that we need to become good philosophers is the ability to marvel,” the Norwegian writer Jostein Gaarder has observed. And he has frequently given expression to this belief, whether in his young adult classic Sophie’s World or in the picture book Questions Asked. The latter forms the starting point of Domande – Fragen (“Questions”). Five people stand on the stage, not knowing one another and not even speaking the same language. But they understand how to communicate with one another: through laughter, looks, music. And − in a state of wonder and playfulness − they discuss existential questions that appear on a wall. Questions that perhaps have no answers but which it is still important to ask. Because they invite you to embrace the world.
