"Expressively masked and costumed figures appear as if from nowhere. This surreal kaleidoscope is a wordless, weightless dance upon graves. The audience is spellbound, breathless, fascinated." Reutlinger Nachrichten
A drawer opens... Secret messages escape, trapping strange creatures, half-man, half-beast. They force their way into the back rooms of memory where they meet a multi-faceted Death, effortlessly, dancing, almost skipping. Reflecting the artistic tradition of the Dance of the Dead from medieval iconography, a cycle of poetic and bizarre metamorphoses unfolds.
A Figurentheater Tübingen UK premiere with live music by 'rat'n'X (Johannes Frisch and Stefan Mertin).
Founded in 1991 by Frank Soehnle and Karin Ersching, Figurentheater Tübingen works at the intersection of puppetry, object theatre and live art. Far away from familiar theatre disciplines, both in their stage shows and many short films for TV culture channels 3sat and arteZDF they continually break new artistic ground.
