A drawer opens… Secret messages escape and lure creatures – half man half beast, like Centaurs. They are forcing their way into the back rooms of memory where they meet with a multifaceted death – effortlessly, dancing, almost skipping. Reflecting the artistic tradition of the Dance of the Dead from medieval iconography, a ring of poetic and bizarre metamorphoses unfolds. A trio of music, puppet and dance.The Figuren Theater Tübingen has been collaborating with the duo rat'n'X for 15 years. Their music has given a strong musical imprint to the development of the theatre. For the first time, this new production features the musicians Stefan Mertin and Johannes Frisch live on stage with puppeteer Frank Soehnle, amazing handler and dancer.
