Escher TheaterDescription
Art education, as aesthetic, artistic and cultural training, is a major topic in children's education and is now a sector in itself of cultural policies. In 1995, UNESCO included it in the 'Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child'. The Théâtre d'Esch is aware of the importance and the necessity to accompany young audiences on their art, entertainment and cultural journey from a very young age.
As a pioneer in Esch-Alzette and in the European Capital of Culture 2022 Esch2022 territory, the Théâtre d'Esch took the initiative in 2018 to create a Young Audiences programme, aimed at children, schoolchildren and families. This initiative was met with immediate and widespread success: for some shows, demand is ten times higher than the available seats! The Théâtre d'Esch sees the need to fulfil its responsibility as a public service, serving the public of tomorrow and the families of today. The European Capital of Culture year 2022 will be a great tool to launch a sustainable impulse to broaden and deepen the approach initiated today. The Théâtre d'Esch has set itself two objectives for the success of Young Audiences: to offer each age group artistic proposals several times a year, and to develop the conditions for long-term sustainability of this action.

Go!
La bonne philosophie du tatami. Deux hommes se mesurent du regard. Ils se cherchent, se trouvent et se jouent l’un de l’autre, sans chercher à se blesser. Car comme le dit un proverbe : « La montagne ne rit pas de la rivière parce qu’elle est petite. La rivière ne rit pas de la montagne parce qu’elle ne bouge pas » ! Nos deux danseurs se respectent mutuellement et leurs instincts originels renouent avec les valeurs d’ouverture, d’humilité et d’émancipation. Go ! allie précision, humour, sensualité et explosivité pour exprimer des traits communs à la danse et aux arts martiaux : la perfection du geste et la beauté du mouvement.

About
The Escher Theater stages shows performed by visiting theatrical companies as well as presenting its own productions. Since 2018, it has been managed by the theatre director Carole Lorang. Each season, it presents around fifty shows from the worlds of theatre, dance and music – or an amalgam of those disciplines –, including not only productions originating from the European scene but also home-grown works from Luxembourg. The theatre’s location, standing as it does at the crossroads of several countries, underlines its cross-border, multicultural function as the provider of a multilingual show program, staged primarily in French and German. Since 2018, one of the key aspects of its project has been its shows aimed at younger audiences, along with shows which affirm – through the use of humor in particular – its mission to question reality.
