Gift wrappings and Christmas decoration. Who experiences once the folding of a simple piece of paper, gets infected by origami. By copying the folding of easy stars, decorational objects and pretty wrappings and boxes, the participants are introduced to this Japanese art form. No previous knowledge required.

Anja Drews (Origami teacher)

GIRLS ON THE RUN
‹Josi› or ‹onnanoko›, ‹girls› in Japanese, have been common elements of Japanese animation since its very beginning. These characters with their innocent faces and oversized round eyes have deeply shaped the perception of anime and manga in the West.

Rie Nakajima
The approach of the sound artist Rie Nakajima (*1976) is anything but ordinary. Plastic cups, ping-pong balls, old toys, cables, unknown electronic devices and batteries: what looks like the contents of a jumble sale box, is actually the artist’s instrument or, more aptly, the musical and tonal components used for her PERFORMANCE.

Stories such as as of the man who is on his way, of the red dog who is lucky and of the girl who takes home the sea with her and many more… For children, but also for their parents and other grown-ups. Anita Schorno takes her audience on a journey into to the world of the Japanese Kamishibai, a form of theatre that requires just a suitcase as a stage.
