Hip-hopper and choreographer Takao Baba `s first work for children features a showdown of superpowers. Who is taller? Who is stronger? Who is faster? Who is better? Just as in life, being successful in the urban dance scene does not depend on how you compare to others, but rather on your ability to develop your own expressive language and pursue your own path. In this spirit, "Meins" ("Mine") depicts four artists in search of what they have in common as well as how they can combine their various abilities into one collective superpower.

"A physical concert of superheroes" by Lola Treblin (7)
"Boom - jab - smack - stomp. Four superheroes stand in four corners. They show off what they can do. Each of them wants to prove they are the best. One of them does the craziest jumps I `ve ever seen in my life. The female superhero is a fantastic singer! (...) I really enjoyed the performance because there were so many cool jumps and we were allowed to join in."
