MAKE IT UP! at Pepper Theater: Dance, Video and Self-Design in the Spotlight
With MAKE IT UP!, a performative work arrives at the Pepper Theater on June 18, 2026, focusing on self-reflection, role models, and digital self-presentation. The production combines dance and video into a stage experience that sensually condenses youthful codes, social expectations, and the struggle for independence. According to the organizers, the piece is aimed at people aged 12 and over and lasts from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. ([rausgegangen.de](https://rausgegangen.de/en/events/make-it-up-0/))
When Identity Becomes a Scene
The evening begins where body and image already compete: in the everyday life between school, family, friend circle, and social media. The performance follows a young character experimenting with styles, fashion, and gestures, teetering between self-empowerment and external control. This friction lends the dance theater its tension, as here not only is there dancing, but identity is revealed as a fragile, changeable choreography.

The Direction of Movements, the Dramaturgy of Masks
The dramaturgy plays with the alternation of presence and projection, of immediate body and medial echo. Emmanuelle Rizzo brings a distinctive artistic signature as a dancer and choreographer; her career is linked with solo work, festival experience, and productions in Munich. This lends authority to the project that comes from experience: here, theory does not speak about the body, but the body speaks about the present.

An Evening for Young and Adult Theater Perspectives
