ZongenZodi
Story play
ZongenZodi ass en Erzielstéck voller Freed un der Sprooch an um Spill mat Buschtawen a Wierder.
Zongenzodi was nominated for the Luxembourg Theatre Prize 2023 in the Young Audience category.
Den Här Pierre schafft am Wierderbüro.
All Dag um Punkt 8 Auer liest hien duerch säi Radiosmikro d’Wuert vum Dag vir. Hien erkläert genee wat all Wuert heescht a wéi eng Sätz een domat ka maachen.
Jidderee lauschtert dem Här Pierre seng Radiossendung, fir ze léieren, uerdentlech ze schwätzen. Et gi keng Dommheete mat deene Wierder gemaach! Et gëtt och net getuddelt an einfach esou drop lass gebraddelt! Alles huet seng Uerdnung: Véiereckeg – praktesch – gutt!
Ma enges Daags daucht d’Zoé am Här Pierre sengem uerdentleche Liewen op…an op eemol geréit alles duercherneen !
Eng beréierend Geschicht, déi zum Nodenke bréngt, ma och d’Laachmuskelen net vergësst.
*****
Mister Pierre Works in the word office .
Every day at exactly 8 o’clock, he speaks the Word of the Day into his radio microphone. He explains precisely what each word means and how to use it in sentences.
Everyone listens to Mr. Pierre’s radio show to learn how to speak properly. No nonsense is allowed with these words! No mumbling or blabbering away! Everything follows strict order: square – practical – good!
But one day, Zoé appears in Mr. Pierre’s perfectly structured life… and suddenly, everything is turned upside down!
ZongenZodi is all about the interplay of language, speech & body sounds and rhythm. It tells a touching story that makes you think—while also giving your laughter muscles a workout.
