Interdisciplinary and international theater about power, doubt, and truth—a compelling collaboration between NITE, Club Guy & Roni, and Thalia Theater Hamburg.
Following the success of Nachtwacht, NITE and Club Guy & Roni, together with the renowned Thalia Theater Hamburg, now present: HOPE. A powerful story about staying hopeful in times of despair.
In HOPE, an ensemble, a choreographer and the staff of a bar become entangled in games of power, resistance and rising panic. Outside, the rain swells into a flood. Inside this fragile micro-society, the questions mount: Do we need leaders, or do we need each other? What is stronger; the promise of order or the force of resistance? What can we do now that the flood is rising to silence us.
HOPE pulls you into the tensions between doubt and conviction, repression and rebellion. What remains when systems fail, when stories and morals collapse, when the “choreography of consensus” finally breaks apart?
In that rupture, hope flickers. Not as something sweet or sentimental, but as a rebellious, imaginative force against despair, chaos and conflict. Hope as a verb. Hope as a radical act. Hope as a moving word. Hope as “the thing with feathers” (Emily Dickinson).
HOPE is international, interdisciplinary theatre that both confronts and moves. Contemporary, visually striking and full of energy. Chaotic, physical, poetic, humorous and wildly imaginative.
Let yourself be surprised, swept up and inspired by HOPE – a swirling fusion of music, theatre and dance.
