Several people are lying on a mattress in the centre of the stage. There are stones and coal around the mattress. In the background, other people are standing in a semi-circle around them, two of them have angel wings.

16 young people show moments of growing up. They take a look back to antiquity: the father-son conflict from the legend of Daedalus and Icarus is whirled into the air. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, appears in various guises and delivers lots of parcels that have not been ordered. “Tschüss Kindheit” says Ikaros in many voices and pushes himself off the grey stone. It flaps its unknown wings: towards the sun, ever further, ever higher. A crash doesn’t seem unlikely, but much greater than the fear is the desire for sunshine in life and a wide horizon.

Available from 4.6.2025 as video on demand in the media library.
