Compagnie Augenmusik is an independent theatre group which was founded in May 2013 in Frankfurt am Main. With director Daniela Krabbe and designer/technician Lukas Wegner the Compagnie looks, particularly but not only, into the subject of theatre for deaf children.
With a changing cast and in cooperation with other hearing, deaf or hearing-impaired artists and performers we want to find new forms of storytelling and presentation methods, so that deaf children will get an approach to the world of theatre.
Taking into account the sensual experiences of deaf or hearing-impaired children, our main point of reception is seeing and feeling. We would like to make music for the eyes and would like to put this special feeling, that music is able to conjure in us, onto stage and therefore into the hearts of our audience (hearing, deaf or hearing-impaired).
Actor/Actress: Jürgen Endress, Asta Nechajute
Concept & Director: Daniela Krabbe
Light & Stage: Lukas Wegner
Costume: Céline Vajen
The premiere will take place on May 21st 2017 at the Theaterhaus Frankfurt.
After that we would like our performance to happen on tour all over Germany, Europe and the whole world to let deaf children everywhere know that theatre is meant for them too.
