When children play, anything is possible: the floor is made of lava, objects fly through the air and everyday objects take on a whole new meaning. The stool is a raft, a bridge, a house, a tower. It stands on its head, lies on its side, stands on its feet... From an almost infinite selection of possibilities, new worlds are playfully created with their own set of rules, which are constantly being changed, expanded and discarded.

But how does one game lead to the next? Who decides what happens next? Who makes the rules and how do you make the best decisions? And what happens if someone doesn't want to take part?

Three dancers get involved in the "Spiel Im Spiel". And also to tearing down the world they have just built and following new impulses. What was just a hat becomes a life-saving island in a stormy sea, where the floor was just untouchable, a large worm now crawls across the stage. What was just small becomes huge and flexes its muscles. Those who were just arguing are now dancing in unison. Play within play is a dance-based exploration of the potential space of children's play and an invitation to shape it.
