“I won´t go to school! I won´t learn any boring stuff! I won´t go to bed! I will always stay a boy and have fun!” (Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie)
Any soothing words are in vain, Peter Pan never never wants to grow up. And why would he learn his sums instead of searing through the sky with the Lost Boys? But Peter Pan has bigger problems: he has lost his shadow. And if that wasn´t enough trouble his all-time enemy is in hot pursuit – the most vicious pirate of all times: Captain Hook until he has young Peter in his grasp!

Notes to editors:
ANGELS Aerials – the company
Susanne Beschorner is the artistic director of ANGELS Aerials. Susanne wears many hats and is the choreographer; writes and produces the pieces as well as performing in them.
Susanne studied dance and physical theatre at German Sports University Cologne and completed her education at LABAN London with an MA in Choreography and Dance studies and perfected her aerial skills with internationally known companies such as De La Guarda, Fuerzabruta and La Fura dels Baus.
In 2003, Susanne founded Germany´s only aerial Theatre Company: ANGELS Aerials. The following year saw their first production, ‘Angels – the show from the sky’.
The show was a resounding success and the company were invited to the Dortmund Theaterzwang festival.
Since then, the repertoire has grown and in 2008 Susanne and her ANGELS were part of the flying VW Olympic Showcase during the Olympic and Paralympic games in Beijing.
Playing with the worlds between movement and the spoken word, earth and air, reality and imagination Susanne has created a unique performance language that makes ANGELS Aerials a very special experience.
Production elements
Special ideas need creative solutions. Susanne provides the artistic drive and Markus Krökel delivers the technical wizardry that allows the performance to happen as if by magic … and safely. As the aerial designer, Markus must consider a design that could require up to 1,000 metres of rope. Artistic vision meets technology. As a certified rigger and a mountain climber in his free time, Markus is able to adapt and develop his own solutions to a design constantly. As chief rigger, the sure flight of the ANGELS lies in his hands.
