Comedia theater - Christina Cherry

A game for speed by Christina Kettering | UA

Why are you always late? Because …

Tempo plays a big role in our world. Sometimes time feels like gum stretching forever, and then another day goes by in an instant – where did it go? And why is that? Okay: the bus doesn’t wait, school starts at 7.45 a.m. Lessons last 45 minutes, afternoons shrink to two hours of playtime, and it is seven in the morning. If you are not quick there, you have missed most of it before it started. Tick Tock. Time is limited. But what about those who just prefer to be slow? Don’t want to or can’t be fast? Then they come too late. Or? Christina Kettering writes a piece about all the inexplicable phenomena that are related to time. Perhaps a praise for slowness? The piece is created in dialogue with the Cologne director Rüdiger Pape.

The play and the staging are in the context of, Nahtran! New plays for the children’s theater, a cooperation project between the Children’s and Youth Theater Center and the German Literature Fund e.V. have been funded by the Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
