WIR WOLLEN NIE NIE NIE – completed

In episodic snapshots, WIR WOLLEN NIE NIE NIE (engl. “We never never never want”) tells the visually stunning myth of two inseparable bodies, stranded in a cold world.

On the steps of a mysterious staircase that continually opens new spaces for them, the two beings live through a whiplash dream of raw brutality, deep trust and bizarre poetry, constantly fuelled by the fear of cutting the cord to each other. But soon a third person forces his way into the dichotomous togetherness of two. A small stranger in the grotesque world of larger characters, whose vague intentions raise the question of who is manipulating whom. Skilful puppetry, masterful artistry and dance captivate the viewer through these mysterious creatures. This abstract world feels strangely real and familiar, warming and disturbing at the same time. It opens up space for questions about individuality, community or authenticity. Hidden behind the masks of these figures are the puppeteer Jarnoth and the aerialist Moritz Haase. Under the direction of Philipp Boë, they have devised this evocative and ironic spectacle, brought to the stage with great dedication and skill.

As part of our guest performance series Play, we present a young Berlin company that is in the process of developing its very own, innovative stage language. Acrobatics, puppetry, dance and physical theater intertwine to form an aesthetically ambitious composition: experimental, surprising, moving. WIR WOLLEN NIE NIE NIE began in 2019 as part of a short residency in the Chamäleon studio basement and can now be seen on the big stage.

Founded by director Philipp Boë, the puppeteer Jarnoth, and trapeze artist Moritz Haase, the young company Raum 305 has set itself the goal of developing a cross-disciplinary, innovative stage language. The amalgamation of aerial acrobatics, puppetry, physical theater and dance provides the basis for their creations, which touch with a high degree of authenticity and virtuosity.
