The premiere at Lutz transports the audience to a special place where sky-high joy and deep misfortune lie close together: the public swimming pool. It is a small island of bliss and at the same time an arena for a ruthless showcase. It inspires dreams of the never-ending summer and, in the next moment, many a young idea fades away in the blue-tiled square. But those who do not dare can still submerge, because the slogan of every summer is: shut up and swim.

The young choreographer Maria Savva has developed choreographies with students from Folkwang University that will inspire the audience for moments on the grassy meadows and adventures with pool toys. Together with the texts written by Lutz director Anja Schöne after conversations with young people about the small worries and great longings on the threshold between childhood and youth, this becomes a moving piece about a place where the cards are shuffled anew and everyone is allowed to reinvent themselves between soft serve ice cream and the diving board.

The production is also bookable in a mobile format and comes to gymnasiums, swimming pools, and anywhere young people like to actively participate in the performance.
