Context

BECOME A PART OF „DANCING WITH OUR NEIGHBOURS“!

Gob Squad, are an internationally known theatre collective based in Berlin invites people from Leipzig and the surrounding area to a special dance* and storytelling
workshop.

*When we say “dance”, we don’t mean classical stage dance. We believe: Everyone can move – the most important thing is that it brings joy! In this workshop, we will explore together how personal stories and movement can be combined. For us, the workshop is part of the preparation for our new performance „Dancing with our Neighbours“, which will be shown as part of the 12th Festival Politik im Freien Theater in Leipzig. For you, it is an opportunity to try something new and contribute creatively! The 12th Festival Politik im Freien Theater will take place from October 16 to 25, 2025, with the subject “Borders” in Leipzig.
