PINK UNICORNS | TANZFESTIVAL RHEIN-MAIN

"The lock screen on my son's phone is a pink unicorn. When I was a teenager, I stayed away from anything pink. I had never heard of unicorns, mobile phones didn't exist." Cuban-born dancer Alexis Fernández joins his son on stage in "Pink Unicorns". Experience meets youthful desire for freedom in playful rivalry. Supposed serenity is questioned with curiosity between colourful cushions of air. Father and son become sparring partners. The joint work of the La Macana collective, consisting of Alexis Fernández and the choreographer, dancer and producer Caterina Varela as well as the choreographer Samir Akika, in-house choreographer at the Bremen Theatre, is about the not always easy relationship between the generations. Father and son let the audience look into a wild and humorous mirror - whether fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, we all find a smiling moment for ourselves again.
