Marietta Andreae and Iha from the Schulenburg Premiere Theater -Performance of Dragons in the Heart,on Kampnagel . With the dragon in his heart,the viewer embarks on an imaginative journey to China's fascinating contrasts: from virtual spaces of cyber love in modern Shanghai to the centuries-old tradition of Chinese opera. From the gentle tranquility of taichi to the loud beats of karaoke bars. From faceless anonymity of the chat rooms to real experiences of a first love.92 students (aged 5 to 18) of the Brecht Schools in Hamburg develop an unusual theater performance under the guidance of the director Wolfgang Barth: They dance,sing,romp,practice taichi,laugh,flirt and speak and sing entire passages in Chinese (German translation is projected).
