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.

    Jean Paul GAULTIER

    Visual Design Director / Curator / Costume design

    Jean Paul Gaultier was born in 1952 in a Paris suburb and began his career with Pierre Cardin in 1970, on his 18th birthday. After working at Esterel, Patou and again at Cardin, Gaultier decided to launch his own fashion house and staged his first show in Paris in 1976. Critical and commercial success soon followed and by the early 1980s, he was one of the most talked about young designers.

    From the beginning of his career, Jean Paul Gaultier wanted to show that beauty has many facets and that we can find it where we least expect it. Intake the unassuming tin can, for instance, which first became a bracelet and later the packaging for his hugely successful perfume. His menswear was launched in 1984 with ’L’Homme Objet’ collection and in 1997 Gaultier realized his dream of starting an haute couture collection with ‘Gaultier Paris’. He was also the designer for Hermès womenswear from 2004 to 2011. In 2015, Gaultier decided to discontinue his ready to wear and to instead pursue haute couture.

    Gaultier has worked in dance, music and film throughout his career. His costumes for Madonna’s ‘Blond Ambition Tour’ had a lasting impression on popular culture. ‘The Fifth Element’ by Luc Besson is a cult film largely thanks to his costumes.

    In 2018 he presented the Fashion Freak Show at the Folies Bergère in Paris, a revue that tells the story of his life and the fifty years of popular culture through song, dance and fashion. After a nine-month run in Paris, the show is now touring internationally.

    In January 2020, Jean Paul Gaultier presented his last haute couture show celebrating 50 years of fashion at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. This huge show featured masterpieces on the catwalk with famous models, VIPs and close friends of the House.

    From now on, the House of Gaultier will continue its haute couture activities with one guest designer per season, who will reinterpret the codes of the House.

    Having already fulfilled a childhood dream in 2016 by living out his aesthetic vision for THE ONE Grand Show and creating over 500 extravagant costumes, Gaultier is now returning to the Palast for the FALLING | IN LOVE Grand Show as Visual Design Director, curator and costume designer.

    Fecal Matter is a multi-disciplinary brand created in order to express uncensored ideas. The Fecal Matter world presents an alternative to restrictive beauty standards and offers experiences and products that connect fashion, film, politics, performance, music and everything that is forbidden in order to promote critical thinking.

    The duo behind the brand, Steven Raj and Hannah Rose, connected over their passion for change and freedom of expression when they met in Montreal, Canada. Established in January 2016, the intention behind the brand name comes from their interpretation of the cycle of consumption and how valueless the material world can be.
    Fecal Matter uses social media as a platform to visually share their unique vision of beauty and reality. The duo has been praised for their 360 degree work process as they create all aspects of their work including photography, hair, makeup, clothing design, art, modelling and music.

    Their work has been showcased in multiple museums such as the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Museum of Fine Arts (Montreal) and the National gallery of Victoria (Melbourne). They have also worked with Rick Owens as creative directors for the Converse collaboration campaign doing the photography and modelling as well. They are most known for their skin shoes creation, a thigh high boot that resembles the human leg with mutations. This pioneering work has launched a worldwide phenomenon of body transformation within the art and fashion spaces.

    Beyond their work, Hannah and Steven’s manifesto “Provoke Society” has inspired a generation to live their authentic truth and express themselves without limits, just like they do every day.

    Fecal Matter will present their unique vision of beauty with their extraordinary costumes in the new Grand Show ‘FALLING | IN LOVE’.

      Zoe Wees

      Songwriter & Composer

      Born and raised in Hamburg, the 21-year-old singer has a very deep connection to music. As a child, she was diagnosed with benign rolandic epilepsy – a traumatic condition that can trigger severe seizures and often leads sufferers to feel isolated.

      In 2018, Zoe Wees began collaborating with Nils Bodenstedt, who was one of her teachers at the time and is now a companion and songwriter. Together, they worked on a series of cover songs, which they posted on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, gaining tens of thousands of enthusiastic new fans.

      The pair then contacted the award-winning Hamburg producers Patrick Pyke Salmy and Ricardo Muñoz, who brought Wees together with fellow songwriters Emma Rosen and René Miller. This enabled the newcomer to work on her own songs and to tell her own musical and personal story.

      Zoe Wee’s powerful and empowering debut single ‘Control’ explores the emotional scars left by her illness. The intimate ballad helped Zoe to launch her career, allowing her to use her expressive, soulful voice to make a complex, touching story universally relatable.

      2021 saw the release of Wees’ debut EP entitled ‘Golden Wings’. She’s been Apple Music’s ‘Up Next’ artist as well as part of Spotify’s RADAR and EQUAL campaigns, made the Forbes ‘30 Under 30’ list and appeared on US television, performing on James Corden’s ‘The Late Late Show’, ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ and ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’. The first two singles received over 2.5 billion global streams.

      In 2022, Zoe Wees completed her first own European tour and also performed at numerous festivals, among others in Chicago (‘Lollapalooza’), Stockholm, Berlin, Paris and San Francisco (‘Outside Lands’).

      The young singer has now written two passionate ballads for the FALLING|IN LOVE Grand Show.

      Boram Kim is a Korean choreographer and dancer whose way into the world of contemporary dance was somewhat unconventional. After working as a back-up dancer for 10 years, he began to question how dance could communicate with audiences and, with passion and ambition, soon started developing his own choreographies.

      In 2007, Kim founded the Ambiguous Dance Company, using choreography as a way to explore and overcome the uncertainties that reside within him. Kim’s creative process begins with selection of the music, which inspires his choreography.

      He blends movements with melodies and rhythms to create unique interpretations that facilitate communication and harmony. For Kim, dancing is a means to discover and demonstrate the limitless possibilities of nonverbal language expressed through the body.

      In the new FALLING | IN LOVE Grand Show he’ll present his unique approach to facilitating harmony between music and dance.
