Paradise — fulfillment, utopia or a construct? In ›Unlocking Paradise‹ a Sinti:zze-Rom:nja children and youth dance company, an international choir with roots in the Middle East and a transgenerational theatre group enter into dialogue. Accompanied by one actor and two musicians, they tell their stories. Personal biographies and reflections about paradise are interwoven in a polyphonic fabric. The associative theatre piece developed by Tomasz Prasqual and directed by Ivo Van Hove presents the Ruhr region in its diversity and creates space for intercultural dialogue.
