Plan your route to Jean Cement

Take a look in advance

Deep down, Jean Cement lives a routinized and orderly existence. The same walk every day, the same porridge from the same plate, the same work on the same land. How foul and rotten is sometimes fate, that higher powers order him of all people to deviate from the beaten path. But then you have to have the archetypal Jean. No, there is no polonaise about him. Jean stiffens and refuses any changes.

In vain: because the future usually doesn't care much about our planning. Your old elementary school is demolished, your mother dies, you read somewhere about space waste and how bad it is, you want to wear those cool green pants, but guess what: don't fit anymore. How long can you hold on to the familiar before the thrumming world eats you up with skin and hair?

Let’s go…

We are going to do things completely differently for a while. Sometime in the Middle Ages, an unknown author wrote Jean Cement's tragedy. As far as we know, this play has never been performed before - but Schwung is changing that this theatre season. The collective is bringing the forgotten history of Jean Cement to life for the first time: integral and unaltered, as it was written at the time. After all, everything used to be better.

Jean Cement is a humorous performance for everyone who sometimes wants to resist the world that is constantly reinventing itself. In sounds of the past on themes of the present: progress, conservatism, and the human tendency to want to understand everything before it happens.
