By tradition, Needlapb offers an insight into future Needcompany projects.

In order to shed some light on the working processes, Needcompany puts on an annual presentation called Needlapb. There is a clear difference between the performances and the Needlapbs. In the performances the dramaturgical research that takes place during rehearsals congeals into a form that is as transparent as possible and ready for communication to the audience. Needlapb, on the other hand, is the uncongealed core of Needcompany, the place where the working process is fluid and dynamic and has not yet acquired a definite form. 

Needlapb is an open thinking space with unlimited freedom. A unique opportunity to take a look at the working process.

----

“This ensemble approaches its work with the same precision with which it mixed the cocktails in the interval, and that is also why this work is still so refreshing, even after 25 years.” 

January 2014, Franfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 


“This Needcompany evening was everything at the same time: performance, reflection on art, interaction with the audience and even a happening, an unforgettable event.” 

September 2014, Die Presse
