WHAT’S THE SHOW ABOUT?

Who are You? You is young, passionate and full of longing, In Diamond City he doesn’t fit into amy mould. In the stone-faced people around him he finds no love. Without any hope, You would just like to sink into the ground.

Then the tarmac beneath his feet crumbles – and You falls into a different reality.

There below, in the lost garden of love, he sees what he has never seen before. That eternal human dream of a better world actually exists. But walled in by traditional normsit has lost all its colourfulness.

Will a young, deaf poet finally find the words that will make beauty and love blossom again in all their colours.

~~~~~~~~

FALLING | IN LOVE is a fantasy in bloom. As dreamy as it could ever be.

For the New York Times, our grand shows are an absolute ‘must-see’! A total of 100 artists from 28 nations on the world’s largest stage, so beautiful it’s hard not to fall in love.

Showtitle

FALLING | IN LOVE

The word “FALLING” in the show title picks up on a feeling currently felt by many. The ground that was once so very firm beneath our feet seems to quake at times. At the Palast, we believe in the beauty of this world and in the good in people – despite everything. Visitors to our new Grand Show don’t fall into a bottomless pit, though, but rather into a blossoming sea of colours – and love.

Set animation: A waterfall almost 10 metres high in the magnificent water garden. And the sound comes from 160 loudspeakers – the largest immersive sound system in the theatre industry in Europe.

Visual Design Director

Curated by Jean Paul GAULTIER

Parisian star designer Jean Paul GAULTIER will contribute his brilliant signature style to the new Grand Show. Back in 2016, he designed the costumes for the highly-acclaimed THE ONE Grand Show. This time, his creative work goes far deeper and is more comprehensive: As Visual Design Director, he’ll lend his distinctive visionary style and touch. As curator, he’s also engaged up-and-coming fashion designers whose work he admires.

Jean Paul GAULTIER says:

“I’m absolutely delighted to once again be working with the Palast and curating FALLING | IN LOVE. I can allow my creativity even greater freedom this time in the collaboration with the Palast team and work with new talents like Fecal Matter and Sasha Frolova. I can’t wait for audiences to be able to enjoy this new adventure.”

The world of Fecal Matter

Vogue spoke with Fecal Matter about “the beauty of being different”. More than one million people follow the pair on social media. “We gave each other the courage to be ourselves and to live the lives we wanted to live,” say Hannah Dolton and Steven Bhaskaran of each other. Is this not exactly the eternal dream of humanity that is rekindled in the Garden of Love? Be whatever kind of YOU you are.
