RASCHUNG

DSCHUNGEL

WIEN (A)

Surprises are the best experiences of a day. Most surprises just happen out of the blue without being planned. The most beautiful surprises are neither intended nor wanted.
But how do surprises actually sound? Do surprises make noises? Do several surprises make a melody?
The piece “Überraschung” guides the youngest theatre visitors impressively into a wondrous world of surprises

Since its establishment in 2004 the Dschungel Wien has become a trade mark for high quality, innovative, lively and authentic artistic and culture related work for children and youth in Vienna, Austria and abroad. Together with more than 100 artists Dschungel Wien offers a diverse program of theatre, dance, music-theatre, opera as well as puppet theatre for a young audience.

Press quotes

The wheel barrow rolls…
With unexpected movements and special sound creations (Mathias Jakisic on the violin with booster) the director Stephan Rabl astonishes a young audience from two to seven years. In “Überraschung” (surprise) the dancers Adriana Cubides and Raul Maia break diverse earthly domains. Beautiful!
Der Standard, 23. dec. 2006

Surprise: Little funds – great effect.
White floor, white curtains, wheel barrows painted in white, an actress and an actor – of course both dressed in white. With these simple instruments Adriana Cubides and Raul Maia conjure – with practically few spoken words – one surprise followed by the other on stage (…) Not all astonishment shall be mentioned, but they really amaze the audience. But one surprise can be betrayed: with bare hands and water an incredible range of music can be produced.
