The Incredible Hulk, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones… Why were the firefighters during the September 11th baptized Real-Life Superheroes? Me singing Beyonce’s Irreplaceable on YouTube. A boy playing soccer in a David Beckham T-Shirt. Barthes researches new Mythologies, Lermontow and Musil try to describe the uprising models of idolized personalities. Who is Superman? asks Umberto Eco.

Things we can still do on stage is a two-week creative workshop for children, which ends up with a dance performance, performed by kids, but directed towards adult spectators
Through the fact that it is children performing and not professionals, agnieszka&agnieszka want to re-evaluate the expectations for a contemporary spectacle, for it’s rules and its construction, aesthetics and novelties.

How does the public perceive these little dancers? Is this group of performers allowed to do more than “ordinary” dancers and actors on a stage?
