“don’t cry out of love”, sings Zarah Leander from the boxes, “there is not on earth.” Is all well and good. Consoles just a bit, if it is 15 or 16 and the heart mercilessly grid. Jeanne wants to Romain, she pines for him, and she expresses it well: “The need to have you to maul you, you a word, a sigh, the shadow of a moment to snatch a bit like creed”, the raging inside her, but Romain – what a Killer, more fraternal feelings for Jeanne.

“Raw heart” is the name of this piece by the French author, Laura Desprein, it arose in the context of a piece of development on the theme of “First love” and has inspired the Parisian Director Arnaud Khayadjanian for the short film “Cold heart”. Regardless of whether raw or cold, the five young people, of which Desprein told, suffering in their own way, under the pent-up, undivided, overwhelming feelings. You are walking around the messy periphery of a metropolis and find their place in life nor their own center.

There is nothing to whitewash

In the case of a Director, Volker Metzler, the Despreins in harsh-poetic language held youth staged drama now at the Theater an der Parkaue, meets the Clique in a vacant Bungalow with Pool, which is filled with colorful plastic heart. The stage picture is of Claudia and Charlotte Burchard.

Metzler balanced this story about being lost and Require skillfully between realism and estrangement, makes its players with sheep masks, or as Zombies occur and it is never the emotional core of the view: the search for something, such as truthfulness in a hypocritical perceived world, in which parents separate, the teachers are disinterested and the Kids their roles early on, the underdog, the school beauty, the daredevil, the wallflower will be assigned.

Hanni Lorenz, Kinga Schmidt, Nina Maria Wyss, Erik Born and Filip Grujic play the stunningly good, without the distance filter adult possible. First love, first Sex, the Hardcore challenges, because there is nothing to sugarcoat.

The same theme of the piece, “just like always: Everything is different” by Günter Jankowiak at the theatre beam. However, in an optimistic variant of the scissors, rather than practical life monitoring and education help. You think that in times of Youporn & Co each and every one already knows everything – and that may be so. Nothing helps but in case of doubt, when it comes to your own Experience. In addition, must explain to anyone the young people that Sex is not necessary a camera that way.

personalized puberty occurs on the Plan

The beautiful programme booklet is designed in the style of a youth magazine, including a vivid title: “The Diversity of ABC”, or “The biggest Sex myths busted by Pro Familia!”. Which includes, for example, the Penis, the more intense the pleasure of the woman: “The greater”. Or: “pubic hair is pointless”.

directed by Inda Bushman, the story of the Raising of the hormone-tornadoes rewinds appropriately relaxed. With Justus Verdenhalven the personalized puberty occurs (“Welcome to my world”) and opens the imaginary curtain for the twins, Mona (Josephine Long) and Theo (Tobias Schormann) that have completed their sex-specific maturation processes.

For Mona that means, among other things: conversations about Menstruation with the mother and Stress with the best friend Steffi (Anne Sofie Schietzold), because both are in love with the sweet, Mehmet (Max Radestock). Theo holt on the other hand, the expected Rebuffs of girls, and wrestles with the question of whether his Masturbation frequency has anything to do with normality.

The diversity of sexual orientations comes too short

For the targeted age class 12plus, the Bushman is absolutely possible to connect to tells, above all, the piece is also very funny in his Ensemble perfectly taken adolescent awkwardness. First love, first Sex: The how, the topic of bullying classics of children’s and youth theatre. And again and again for the Generation that relates to it and finds there is no satisfactory answers. Only old hit.

Okay, the Diversity of sexual orientations in “just like always: Everything is different”. You will also trigger in “Raw heart”, at best. But well, there is still the educational ABC in the program booklet: “asexuality” to “tenderness”.

Next performances: 6. 3., 5. and 6. 4., 19 At (Brute Heart), 21. and 22. 2., 12. -14. 3. (Just like always: Everything is different)
