At the "Dancewalk Natur& Kultur" you get the opportunity to dive into the fascinating cosmos of the forest with three dancers of the Neopost Foofwa Company and two local musicians, far away from everyday life. In different workshops, the children and young people explore various approaches to dance and movement, but also to topics such as ecology and language. The adventure culminates in a joyful dance procession through the forest - in the legendary "Dancewalk".

In "Sarana" an ordinary entrance door becomes a gateway, which is suddenly much more than a mere passageway. In this wordless short piece, which translates as "hinge", Ilmatila playfully turns our world upside down a bit and opens a gate to our own imagination. The wordless miniature work is presented to a small audience each time.

EQUALITY
CIE LINDH & WEINGARTNER (CH)
Wednesday 29.09.21, 5 p.m., square School Marktgasse, Leihgasse 9a, Baar
Duration 20 min.
For Recommended from 8 years
A woman and a man meet. They wish to be completely equal. With full physical effort and a lot of humor, they find all kinds of plausible but also whimsical ways to show what equality between two people of different genders could look like. They make decisions together and share their challenges. Opportunities are fairly distributed, as is the attention they receive. It's a difficult balancing act, but giving up doesn't count, because one thing is certain: both are equally unique in every case!

#KNOCHEN
CIE BOLLWERK (CH)

Location Museum of Prehistory(s), Zug, www.urgeschichte-zug.ch
Duration 75 min.
Recommended for 8 years and older
Bones play an enormously important role in human history. Almost everything we think we know about our ancestors and extinct species has to do with bones. Using found objects, we research and speculate in the museum about the rituals, lifestyles and fates of our ancestors. In the dance piece "#knochen" they serve as tools, furniture and exchange currency, and we even dance with bones! The piece deals with the history of evolution in a fun way and asks together with the young audience: What has already happened on planet earth? What is going on in the "here and now"? And how should it continue?!

HOPE INSTRUCTION
REBECCA WEINGARTNER (CH)
Wednesday 29.09.21, 17.30 h
Place School Marktgasse, Leihgasse 9a, Baar
Duration 10 min.
Sometimes it performs miracles. Sometimes it steals the mind. Most of the time, it is greatest where it is least expected. And even if we have been disappointed many times, we all need it to live: hope. A most amazing quality with which man has always tried to survive in times of crisis. In personal as well as collective moments of crisis, the question of the ability to practice hope becomes existential. In her solo Rebecca Weingartner pursues the thesis that hope as a desire and positive attitude towards life can be learned, physically brought about and experienced in a physical-emotional way.

Performances at school
These four performances will take place exclusively at different schools in the canton of Zug.
GAME THEORY - JOSHUA MONTEN CH
Playing means re-enacting situations that are not possible or not allowed in everyday life. Playing also means destroying and creating, flirting with danger, releasing energies and experiencing thrills. "Game Theory" is a dynamic portrait of play whose composition is built from everyday situations. The easily recognizable basic elements offer young viewers the opportunity to recognize and reflect on everyday experiences such as competition, pressure to perform, group dynamics, success and failure. The result is a fascinating choreography that leaves its viewers a lot of room for their own interpretation and is enormously fun to watch.

SOKOL – ILONA JÄNTTI (FIN)
The movements in "Sokol" are based on the principle of "A strong mind in a strong body". This performance combines live music with aerial acrobatics and was specially designed for gyms. So that the performance can take place in a place that is familiar to the children and thus also encourage them to move and involve their environment in it.

Musik Cégiu, www.cegiu.com, www.cegiusworld.com
Cégiu is a musician/producer/composer exploring a fascinating, thematically and musically unique spectrum. To self-produced beats of insect sounds, cello sounds and electronics, the diversity of the voice is savored in multiple languages.
GANGEWIFRE – CIE ILMATILA (FIN)
Gangewifre is a delicate and amazing project that transforms its form depending on the venue. In a mesh of thin ropes, woven into a web, a figure floats and moves - a gracefully dancing spider? In the midst of the tree mesh, the composition looks like a living organism, creating an illusion of weightlessness.

Na Pista brings the identities and testimonies of its dancers to the stage with an Afro-Brazilian accent that is universally understood.
