Riesenerfolg im Kino: 80'000 Zuschauer in der Schweiz!

Berlin, Januar 2003. In der Arena, der alten Omnibus-Remise im Industriehafen, geschieht Erstaunliches. 250 Berliner Kinder und Jugendliche aus 25 Nationen tanzen Strawinskys Le Sacre du Printemps, choreographiert von Royston Maldoom und begleitet von den Berliner Philharmonikern: Das erste grosse Education-Projekt des Orchesters mit seinem Chefdirigenten Sir Simon Rattle. RHYTHM IS IT! begleitet drei jugendliche Protagonisten während der dreimonatigen Probenzeit. Marie, die noch um ihren Hauptschulabschluss bangt; Olayinka, erst vor kurzem als Kriegswaise aus Nigeria nach Deutschland gekommen; und Martin, der mit seinen eigenen inneren Barrieren zu kämpfen hat. Hartnäckig und mit großer Liebe leiten Royston Maldoom und sein Team die ersten Tanzschritte der Kinder und Jugendlichen an, von denen die meisten keine Erfahrung mit klassischer Musik haben. Im Verlauf der Proben lernen sie alle Höhen und Tiefen kennen, Unsicherheit, Selbstbewusstsein, Zweifel und Begeisterung: Eine emotionale Reise in neue, ungeahnte Welten und zu verborgenen Facetten ihrer Persönlichkeiten.

The borough Treptow in Berlin on the 28th of January 2003. In a former omnibus depot in an industrial backwater something amazing is happening. 250 pupils from 25 nations are dancing to Stravinsky's 'Sacre du Printemps', which they have rehearsed for nearly three months, trained by the British choreographer Royston Maldoom and accompanied by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under it's chief conductor, Sir Simon Rattle. RHYTHM IS IT! Follows the fascinating process leading to the Sacre performance, the most ambitious project in the Zukunft@BPhil program for the year 2003. It shows the first efforts at dancing made by youngsters, few of whom had prior knowledge of classical music and expressive dance; it shows the perseverance, affection and patience with which Royston Maldoom and his assistants Susannah Broughton and Volker Eisenach care for them, and it shows the auxiliary efforts of teachers and the rehearsals of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra held during the same period. Through the eyes of three young protagonists we take part in the project's development, it's ups and downs, doubts and enthusiasms, uncertainties and renewals of self-confidence. It is a fascinating journey into new, undreamed-of worlds and reveals surprising facets of the protagonists' personalities.
