When the darkness begins to whisper: Dare so kare at T-Werk Potsdam

A creak in the empty house, a barely audible cry, a shadow at the edge of the field of vision: With Dare so kare, Theater NADI takes its audience into a poetic world of Japanese ghost stories. The performance on October 3, 2026, at T-Werk Potsdam combines acting, dance, ritual masks, and atmospheric soundscapes into an intense stage experience for those aged 12 and older.

Between the world of ghosts and human memory

Inspired by the groundbreaking collection of Japanese ghost stories by writer Lafcadio Hearn, the audience encounters eerie apparitions, playful spirits, and lost souls. The dramaturgy does not solely focus on the strange and frightening. Behind each apparition, human longings, memories, and questions arise about what remains when familiar securities disappear.

Poetic gestures, ritual masks, and moving bodies

Theater NADI operates at the intersection of acting and dance. Poetic gestures, precise bodily movements, and ritual masks create a unique visual language for the production. The set design by Konrad Schaller creates a space where the visible and the invisible constantly touch. Costumes, light, and sound condense the theatrical atmosphere into a sensual web where every step and every sound gains meaning.

A production with concentrated sound and light dramaturgy

Direction and dramaturgy are handled by Kenneth George. Andrew Connolly-Gilchrist, Noriko Dahlinger, and Lina Sophie Rothaug perform on stage, guiding the audience through shifting states of tension, wonder, and quiet melancholy. Music, light, and sound are provided by Andrew Connolly-Gilchrist. The acoustics of the stage space become a dramaturgical partner: A whisper can create closeness, while a sound from the darkness can suddenly change the entire space.

Theater NADI: Stage art with a unique signature

Theater NADI was founded in 2004 by mime and actor Steffen Findeisen and Japanese actress Noriko Dahlinger. The ensemble combines dance and acting with a poetic, body-focused stage aesthetics. Dare so kare brings this artistic signature into a new production and collaborates for the first time with Lina Sophie Rothaug and Andrew Connolly-Gilchrist.
