WURFSENDUNGEN NON-STOP

The Wurfsendung (roughly: audio snapshot) is the shortest radio play format in the world. DEUTSCHLANDFUNK KULTUR has produced more than 3,000 Wurfsendungen (drama, prose, compositions and collages lasting between 10 and 45 seconds) since 2004 and has incorporated them into radio programmes every day since then. Now, this experimental short format is taking to the stage in Weimar and is being transformed into a full-length live show. This big performance is made possible by performers Britta Steffenhagen and Florian Lukas, whose improvisational talent and irrepressible energy allow them to change roles with lightning speed. At various times, they play traditional puppet characters Kaspar and Grete, then a couple whose relationship has gone stale — or they get into arguments with smart household objects.
