Charming little world theater

Next year, Nico and the Navigators will celebrate their 10th anniversary as a free theater in Berlin. During this time, the ensemble around director Nicola Hümpel and set designer Oliver Proske has created a charming little world theater. Unmistakable, how the "navigators" move in Proske's multifunctional transformation spaces, which have a life of their own. Constantly something opens or closes, shifts or warps. In between: young, comical contemporaries. They seem nostalgic and with their slapstick poses and gestures could have sprung from a silent movie. They are looking for their place in the world and in their silly seriousness they become sympathetic. Because, of course, much of what they do is futile, banal and profoundly tragic - just like in real life. The play "Cain, If & But" is a much-traveled success production from 2003, which is finally being played again in Berlin and deals with Nico's theme of success: Is personality fate or can one choose? The ensemble is playing at the Radialsystem for the first time.
