Was geht, Erdling?

Two travellers from outer space stop off on Earth with a mission: to find out what it means to be human. They have already gathered a few facts: for example, that there are things like time and money. They have learned how humans move from cartoons. But everything they do seems strange; the way they speak sounds a bit wrong and the way they dress is somehow funny. A few questions remain unanswered, and not just for the aliens.

"What's up, Earthling?" is a play for everyone aged 5 and older. It is a humorous, playful attempt to explore human habits, by the two choreographers and dancers Caroline Beach and Saida Makhmudzade.

CAROLINE BEACH is a choreographer, dancer and musician. She completed her master's degree in choreography at the Palucca University of Dance Dresden and her master's degree at the AdBK Nuremberg. She has shown her work in a wide variety of venues: theatres, galleries, off-spaces and in the digital realm.

SAIDA MAKHMUDZADE is a dancer and choreographer. She creates playful, conceptual works rooted in somatic research. She uses humour as a stylistic device to create space for the subtle and delicate, but also to get to the bottom of serious questions.
