HundertPro Festival Vol. 6.1 - Now more than ever!

Due to water damage, the HundertPro Festival Vol. 6 had to be cancelled at short notice last summer. After a small update, it will now take place on 12 April 2025: The HundertPro Festival Vol.6.1

At the end of August 2024, after months of collective work and in anticipation of the festival day with our audience and the artists, the festival had to be called off.

Yet festivals like HundertPro are essential - probably more than ever!

Culture and the independent scene in particular are currently experiencing massive cutbacks that threaten their survival in their current state. Social values such as equality, participation and inclusion are being called into question.

Society seems to be becoming more and more divided.

The HundertPro Festival shows the strength and diversity of the independent scene in NRW and beyond. It allows newcomers from the fields of theatre, dance and performance and their productions to take centre stage and amplifies voices that are underrepresented in society. At the HundertPro Festival, audiences encounter topics on stage that are not always comfortable, but are all the more relevant.

‘With the themes of truth & contradiction, realities & values, we deliberately sought out productions and artists that reflect and mirror our complex social fabric, with all its contradictions, personal realities and values that characterise us and our opposing claims to truth.

- Sebastian Brohn, dramaturge at the Ringlokschuppen Ruhr

The HundertPro Festival emphasises the power of community and the coexistence of diverse identities.Founded as a ‘post-migrant’ festival, the sixth edition will continue to explore questions of identity politics, present (post-)migrant biographies on stage and address experiences of racism.

Nevertheless, the festival has continued to develop.

Further topics have been added: Queerness in various facets is celebrated on stage, taboos on mental illness are broken, internalised violence is overcome, social norms are questioned and generational conflicts are addressed.

‘First and foremost, we want to promote dialogue between different people. We want everyone to ponder and reflect on the values they have grown up with or have perhaps unconsciously internalised.

No place is as suitable for this as the theatre, as it is fundamentally and inextricably linked to society and can only exist in a continuous dialogue with it.’

- Amir Mirzaei

The special aspect of the sixth edition (6.1): Not only the dramaturges of Ringlokschuppen Ruhr have selected what will be shown in the festival programme. A multi-departmental team has collectively selected 8 productions from almost 300 applications, which will be presented on the stages of the Ringlokschuppen Ruhr on 12 April 2025.

Come and join us - at the HundertPro Festival Vol. 6.1!

Haba Na Haba, Copyright Catalina Roldan

‘Haba na Haba hujaza kibaba’ is a Swahili proverb that is mainly taught to children at a young age to encourage them to take life one step at a time. It means that small achievements are among the great successes and goals in life! This solo piece by Paul Damiano from Kenya explores the ways in which playfulness is part of growing up and contributes to one's character and appreciation of life. The play inspires and invites the audience on a journey into the past to remember pivotal moments in their own life story! Haba na Haba is a feel-good play about Paul's very personal life story, his childhood in Kenya, memories and the playful journey of growing up.

Babylon | Jäckie Rydz, Copyright Jäckie Rydz

In BABYLON, three trans performers explore the possibilities of queer reproduction. With poetic texts and an immersive stage set, they recreate the biblical myth of the sinful city of Babylon. As queer bodies, they infiltrate the sacred space of the Catholic Church and assimilate its queer-hostile narratives. In three parts, they test themselves as reproductive figures of the mother, whore and bride. Multilingual in Polish, German and English, BABYLON captures the generational conflict of reproduction and scrutinises its promise of happiness.

Neon Serenade | Benze C Werner, Copyright Ley Ghafouri

Inspired by gestures of affection and the steps of line dances, this choreography combines moments of togetherness and pleasure with moments of disorientation and uncertainty. Neon Serenade is a dance about cowboy gurls, the loss of intimacy and negotiations of desire. It celebrates the memories of past loves, the touch between friends and fantasies of future connections. A serenade we sing to...

BAALYA | ANAND DHANAKOTI, Copyright Öncu Gültekin, K3 Kampnagel Hamburg

Baalya is a movement-based piece that works with elements of circus arts, contemporary dance, improvisation and voice, inviting the audience into a multi-sensory performance based on Anand Dhanakoti's personal experiences as a street kid in the streets of Bengaluru and those of the performers trained in circus arts. It questions how movement and dance change through street experiences and turns the Indian caste system on its head by thinking of choreography from the feet up. In the Indian caste system, people are categorised according to which parts of their body they use to earn a living. The people of the lowest caste act as the feet of society.

IMPATIENTS. how to make a theatre piece without being depressed afterwards? approaches the construction of madness, mental health and the pathologisation of queerness from a queer feminist perspective.

Three performers form a (movement) choir, a pathologised and pathetic body. Contradictory and unruly. A powerless and empowered body. A body that finally speaks in all its contradictions and polyphony. A body that has been patient long enough, has been patient, has been a patient.

It is an attempt to take the words that have been said about us into our own mouths and turn them around. It is an attempt to find the revolutionary power of the "disorder" without denying the pain. It's an attempt to make a piece of theatre without being depressed afterwards.

You don’t need to be fixed my queens - it’s the world that needs the fixing – Johanna Hedva

X Ê R connects the changing landscapes of voice, language, identity and body. The voice becomes a flowing stream that rebalances and realigns the existential and physical presence of the body. It moves through the dimensions of spoken language, silence, volume and the realms of being heard, being understood - or not being understood.

AUDIENCE ASSEMBLY | CHEERS FOR FEARS

Artistic Intervention

Cheers for fears c ingo solms, Copyright Ingo Solms

The right-wing backlash is affecting us all, but depending on the reality of our lives and our social position, we all feel it to varying degrees. Social values such as equality, participation and inclusion are being called into question. ‘Multi-crises’ and right-wing populism are causing restrictions and attacks on the artistic scene in Germany. And the network initiative Cheers for Fears, which has initiated numerous interdisciplinary connections and collaborations in NRW's (young) artistic scene over the past twelve years, is also threatened in its existence.

At the Hundertpro Festival, Cheers for Fears therefore opens up an exchange between all those who are wondering what needs to be done now. In the arts and in everyday life. For a short time, we want to interrupt the anonymity of a visit to the theatre and collect small and large gestures of resistance together. And to realise: whether behind, on, under or in front of the stage: we are not alone.

We hereby call on the audience to come together!

WALK & TALK IN THE PARK

Miteinander Unterwegs | Sprache: DE, ENG

Inmitten einer Zeit voller Widersprüche, Krisen und Umbrüche wollen wir nicht verstummen – sondern einander zuhören. Beim Walk and Talk laden Künstler*innen des HundertPro Festivals und Mitglieder des Ringlokschuppen Teams zum gemeinsamen Spaziergang im MüGa-Park ein.

Ein bewegter und bewegender Raum für Gespräche, offen für Fragen, Gedanken, Zweifel und Ideen.

Wir reden über das Festival, vielleicht über Kunst, über mögliche Zukünfte, gelebte Widersprüche; also über alles, was uns bewegt – und was wir bewegen können.

Im Stillstand ist noch nie eine Bewegung entstanden. Also: Lets walk & talk! ;)
