During the last 5 years, the company aXe Körpertheater, which is co-operating with La Strada, has focused on productions with homeless people and drug addicts putting the shows outside into urban areas. The incorporation of interaction with the audience and also conflicts between audience and residents of the area has therefore been an important part of those plays. As a result the team around the head of this company Peter Ulrich has gotten used to producing very flexible plots and musical scores using improvisational elements. The social and team building aspects of this work, has become one of the most fruitful elements and has very much influenced the plots and plays. With the production Opera de la Rue, the company is taking this work to a different level, not only be placing the show into an open space, but taking a very elite genre the Opera out for a ride into the real world of today.
